Cannot unmount /var/db/system/syslog - device busy

[bob p]

I'm trying to do a zpool export and I'm being stopped by a "Device busy" error. AFICT this was a bug once upon a time, that was fixed in 9.2. I'm having it in the most recent version, 9.10-STABLE:

Code:

# zpool export poolname
cannot unmount '/var/db/system/syslog-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx': Device busy

What am I missing?

Is your .system dataset stored on the pool you're trying to export? If so, you need to move it to another pool.

I don't think so -- I'm trying to export the storage pool, which is located under /mnt/poolname. AFAIK the .system dataset is stored on the USB drive in the default configuration, isn't it?

No need to guess, just go to the System tab and click the System Dataset button.

No need to guess, just go to the System tab and click the System Dataset button.

Thanks!
