Re: [zfs-discuss] zfs won't import a pool automatically at boot
Great, thanks Robert. That's what I was looking for. I was thinking that I would have to transfer the state somehow from the temporary jumpstart environment to /a so that it would be persistent. I'll test it out tomorrow. Sanjeev, when I did not have the zpool export, it still did not import automatically upon reboot after the jumpstart. And when I imported it manually, if gave an error. So that's why I added the export.

It won't help during jumpstart as /etc is not the same one as after he will boot. Before you export a pool put in your finish script: cp -p /etc/zfs/zpool.cache /a/etc/zfs/ Then export a pool. It should do the trick. -- Best regards, Robert Milkowskimailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://milek.blogspot.com ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
Re: [zfs-discuss] zfs won't import a pool automatically at boot
Michael, If you don't call "zpool export -f tank" it should work. However, it would be necessary to understand why you are using the above command after creation of the zpool. Can you avoid exporting after the creation ?

Re: [zfs-discuss] zfs won't import a pool automatically at boot
Hi Mike, After rebooting a UNIX machine (HP-UX/Linux/Solaris), it will mount (or import) only the file systems which are mounted (or imported) before the reboot. In your case the zfs file system tank/data is exported(or unmounted) before reboot.Thats the reason why the zpool is not imported automatically after reboot. This is neither a problem nor a bug. ZFS developers designed the import and export command like this. Not only ZFS, no file system will mount all the available file systems. Any UNIX machine will mount only the file systems which are mounted before reboot. -Masthan D Michael Goff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi, When jumpstarting s10x_u4_fcs onto a machine, I have a postinstall script which does: zpool create tank c1d0s7 c2d0s7 c3d0s7 c4d0s7 zfs create tank/data zfs set mountpoint=/data tank/data zpool export -f tank When jumpstart finishes and the node reboots, the pool is not imported automatically. I have to do: zpool import tank for it to show up. Then on subsequent reboots it imports and mounts automatically. What I can I do to get it to mount automatically the first time? When I didn't have the zpool export I would get an message that I needed to use zpool import -f because it wasn't exported properly from another machine. So it looks like the state of the pool created during the jumpstart install was lost. BTW, I love using zfs commands to manage filesystems.
