Hi All,

I appreciate the below is a bit 'odd', so not sure if it's worth
raising a bug for.

I have my home server running FreeBSD 13-stable (amd64), specifically
'FreeBSD 13.0-STABLE #5 stable/13-n246071-659f77766031'.

It's an AMD Ryzen 8 core on an Asus X-370 Pro.

I have root on a SATA attached SSD, a 1TB samsung evo, this was
installed from the FreeBSD install media. It boots via EFI.

I decided to move the root to a 2TB NVMe, so I installed the NVMe,
duplicated the partition layouty (apart from a larger freebsd-zfs
partition) and used dd to copy the efi and freebsd-boot partitions
over.

I then rebooted and selected the new drive as boot to check the EFI
partition and bootloader worked as expected, the system rebooted fine.

Next step was to 'zpool add' the zfs parttion on the new drive to the
zroot pool, then 'zpool remove' the existing partition located on the
SATA SSD. (ada7p4 IIRC)

This all appeared to work, and I got a message telling me the data had
been migrated and an amount of memory had been used. The data seemed
okay and the machine remained operational.

Then I rebooted. At this point I got stuck in an endless reboot loop,
a video of the incident suggets it's somewhere around
spa_import_rootpool, but it's so quick I didn't get a full stacktrace.

I was able to boot off a USB and import the pool, the data looked
okay, so I then used zfs send to dump the data to a file. I have since
sucesfully zfs receive'd this onto a new zroot pool and all is well
again.

But I am a little curious why it didn't work. The pool appearead to be
importable and the data was fully retrievable via zfs send.

I have also managed to re-create this in a VM. Using Hyper-V, I
created a new VM for FreeBSD, with EFI, 4 CPU, and 4G of memory. The
default size HD. Installed from FreeBSD-13.0-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso

I then added another virtual SCSI disk (da1) and did the following:

<----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------CUT

<----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------CUT

If at this point I shut down the VM, remove what was da0, and set da1
to be the only (and first) scsi device I get exactly the same reboot
loop.

Booting the VM of the install DVD allows me to zpool import the root
pool just fine. (Rebooting still fails after doing this though).

Worth a PR?

Cheers,

Ian
