Yeah. ZFS pools record the hostid of the system that accessed them last. When you boot in single-user mode, /etc/rc.d/hostid doesn't get run, so the hostid is zero, which doesn't match the hostid in the pool, so the pool doesn't show up without an import. Workaround: always make sure you run /etc/rc.d/hostid start in single-user before doing any ZFS tinkering. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
