Cannot import mysterious pool

[zfrogz]

Let me start by saying that I have not lost my pool or data. I am not having any issues what so ever. Just trying to figure out why this message is showing up during the boot sequence:

cannot import '7262224716413812605': no such pool available
cannot import '7262224716413812605': no such pool available

I'm running FreeNAS-9.2.1.8-RELEASE-x64 and my one and only zpool is online and working fine. (I started a scrub but I don't expect it to fix it)

Code:

Anyone know how I can remove it or what it might be?

Three ideas come to mind:

1. When you first setup your FreeNAS server you created and destroyed you pool several times. During this time you somehow ended up with an erroneous entry in your config file. If it's still there it *might* show up under your storage settings. If it still shows up you should be able to detach the improper entry and then the problem will be solved.
2. If your pool is encrypted then on bootup FreeNAS will try to mount the encrypted pool. As the decryption key isn't already provided it will fail. (This is normal for servers that have encrypted pools and can be ignored.) But, your pool doesn't appear to be encrypted.
3. Your config file has somehow been fubared.

Thanks Cyberjock. Number 1 is possible. I did a fair amount of testing when I first set this up years ago and something could still be stuck in there from those day. Too far back to remember. Unfortunately, nothing is showing up in the GUI.

It shouldn't be an encryption thing. I never dared to turn that on due to originally having a CPU that didn't support it.

Could also be number 3.

What would be the best course of action? Fresh install and import my pool? Attempt to repair the config file?

Thanks again!

If you have an SQL database editor you might be able to find the offending entry and delete it.

Alternatively you could try exporting your pool, rebooting, then importing your pool. That would remove any entries that are named 'tank'. If there is more than 1 it will clear it. One other person got resolution by exporting, rebooting, and importing their pool.

Exporting, rebooting and importing seems to have cleared it up. Thanks so much!
