[PVE-User] create zfs pool issue

[Pongrácz István]

Hi,

When you create a new pool, /dev/sdb is not really a valid device.

Try to create a pool using their id, like this:


zpool create -f -o ashift=12 tank mirror ata-Hitachi_HTS545050A7E380_TEJ52139CA9VNS ata-Hitachi_HTS545050A7E380_TEJ52139CAVXNS mirror ata-Hitachi_HTS545050A7E380_TEJ52139CBYP0S ata-WDC_WD5000BEVT-00A0RT0_WD-WXN1AB0X5490

You can use ids from here: ls /dev/disk/by-id/

If you want to use their name, just use this:

zpool create -f -o ashift=12 tank mirror sdb sdc mirror sdd sde

The second variant is not recommended, because if your system boots up and you put a new disk, it is easy to mess the pool. Just avoid to use sdX as device, use their ids instead.

Bye,
István
