Hi,

I just updated from 11.2-RC1 to 11.2-RELEASE.
After that update I could not decrypt my backup disk which is a USB 3 external drive. That happens from time to time. I just detach it and reattach it which normally works just fine.
This time I cannot attach the disk because it simply does not show in the dialog where I usually pick it. When I connect to the terminal and type
Code:
geom disk list
the disk show as da1 as always.

Why isn't the disk not choosable in the import dialogue? I tried legacy and current WebGUI.

Which filesystem is it formatted with? Anything in /var/log/messages when you try to import?

It is formatted with ZFS. I've been using it for years. It suddenly showed up in the dialogue and import went well. Weird behaviour....

Hey, I don't have a solution for this, but the same problem. After an (unplanned) reinstall I'm unable to decrypt my pool (3 internal SATA Disks) because the disks don't show up in the Webinterface. They do under "disks" though, and also in camcontrol and dmesg in the command line.

Edit:
I was able to import the pool on the command line without a problem.
I also noticed that its probably this bug: 62001. https://redmine.ixsystems.com/issues/62001. With that I also learned that there's a difference between 11.2-RELEASE-U1 and 11.2-U1...
Also I just reread that it worked in the end for the OP - not for me though, the pool-member-disks never showed up in the UI.
