Sorry if this question is a bit off topic, but it requires detailed knowledge of FreeNAS/FreeBSD/ZFS which only developers would know/care about.
Where does this gptid/735dxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx17d2xxxx come from when
More importantly, how can I restore this behaviour (or if necessary create a new gptid that displays).
Reason for question: Backup script automatically recovers the pool name and mounts the pool when a removable disk is installed at /dev/ada3 and the backup script is run.
Background:
Originally
I forgot to export the pool over a reboot and somehow messed up this behaviour so:no longer shows the gptid.
(Pool created under FreeNAS 11.1-currently running 11.2-U7. I have tried rolling back to 11.1-U7 (the point I upgraded to 11.2-U7) and it doesn't make any difference.)
Another bit of information that might be helpful is:
Once I import the pool, ada3p2 no longer shows up in
After I export BACKUP02,
Any assistance/suggestions are much appreciated. I don't know if the original behaviour is due to FreeNAS or FreeBSD, or even what to Google to find a resolution on my own.
I would really prefer not to have destroy/recreate the pool from scratch as it contains about 7-8TB which is going to take a day or so.

zpool import
is executed on a single disk pool?More importantly, how can I restore this behaviour (or if necessary create a new gptid that displays).

Background:
Originally
zpool import
displayed the gptid of my pool when there was a pool available for import:Code:
#>zpool import pool: BACKUP02 id: 1487853121776782679 state: ONLINE action: The pool can be imported using its name or numeric identifier. config: BACKUP02 ONLINE gptid/735dxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx17d2xxxx ONLINE
I forgot to export the pool over a reboot and somehow messed up this behaviour so:
Code:
#>zpool import pool: BACKUP02 id: 1487853121776782679 state: ONLINE status: Some supported features are not enabled on the pool. action: The pool can be imported using its name or numeric identifier, though some features will not be available without an explicit 'zpool upgrade'. config: BACKUP02 ONLINE ada3p2 ONLINE
(Pool created under FreeNAS 11.1-currently running 11.2-U7. I have tried rolling back to 11.1-U7 (the point I upgraded to 11.2-U7) and it doesn't make any difference.)
Another bit of information that might be helpful is:
glabel status
and ls -la /dev/gptid
still show the gptid until the pool is imported (zpool import BACKUP02
). Once I import the pool, ada3p2 no longer shows up in
glabel status
and the gptid disappears from /dev/gptid. The pool is mounted in the file system at the expected location and functions correctly otherwise. After I export BACKUP02,
glabel status
and ls -la /dev/gptid
show the gptid again.Any assistance/suggestions are much appreciated. I don't know if the original behaviour is due to FreeNAS or FreeBSD, or even what to Google to find a resolution on my own.
