Hi all,
I have a server that is build on top of an Asus board which is equipped
with an Areca 1680 HBA. Since ZFS like raw disks, I changed its mode
from RAID to JBOD in the firmware and rebootet the host.
Now, I do have 16 drives in the chassis and the line out like this:
root@vsm01:~# format
Searching for disks...done

Looked okay for me, so I went ahead an created a zpool containing two
mirrors like this:
root@vsm01:~# zpool create vsm_pool1_1T mirror c3t2d1 c3t1d6 mirror
c3t2d0 c3t1d5
This went just fine and the zpool was created like this:
root@vsm01:~# zpool status vsm_pool1_1T
pool: vsm_pool1_1T
state: ONLINE
scan: none requested
config:
NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM
vsm_pool1_1T ONLINE 0 0 0
mirror-0 ONLINE 0 0 0
c3t2d1 ONLINE 0 0 0
c3t1d6 ONLINE 0 0 0
mirror-1 ONLINE 0 0 0
c3t2d0 ONLINE 0 0 0
c3t1d5 ONLINE 0 0 0
errors: No known data errors
Now, creating another zpool from the remaining 500GB drives failed with
this weird error:
root@vsm01:~# zpool create vsm_pool2_1T mirror c3t1d4 c3t1d3mirror
c3t1d2 c3t1d1
invalid vdev specification
use '-f' to override the following errors:
/dev/dsk/c3t2d1s0 is part of active ZFS pool vsm_pool1_1T. Please see
zpool(1M).
Anybody has an idea of what is going wrong here. It doesn't seem to
matter which of the drives I want to use for the new zpool, I am always
getting this error message - ven when trying only mirror c3t1d4 c3t1d3
or mirror c3t1d2 c3t1d1 alone.
Thanks,
budy
