was just experimenting with zfs on a spare slice on the disc - this may all be entirely my fault for doing it worng, if so please tell me, but I appear to be gettign a zfs pool ounted on reboot but with none of the data appearing in it! what I did: 1) take a space slice, only got one partition on it being 'c' the whole disc 2) glabeled it as 'zfstest' so it appears in /dev/label/zfstest 3) create a pool with 'zpool create tank /dev/label/zfstest 4) create another file system on it as 'zfs create tank/newfs' 5) sprinkle some files into both directories so thois gives me a /tank and a /tank/newfs, with some files in them (there was no /tank director previously). I can zpool export and zpool import the tank and it all works fine. so then I reboot ...and after reboot I get /tank, but it is empty! a 'zpool status' tells me that the pool is there and imported, but it doesnt show up when I type 'mount'. If I do an export and import then all the files appear again and the filesystem shows up in 'mount' though. any ideas ? it is obviosuly finding the pool, but not mounting any of the files systems from the looks of things. -pete.
