It’s 2am: do you know where your ZFS pools are?

No, no I don’t.

wesc21-comsc# zpool list
no pools available
wesc21-comsc# df -h
Abort (core dumped)

Bollocks. I’m beginning to think this machine is cursed. The mounted ZFS filesystems are still there and apear to be functioning so I guess I can fix this tomorrow. I don’t really want to interrupt the MySQL database that’s indexing 40GB of data.

Strangely googling for “Where the hell did my ZFS go?” doesn’t return any usefull results.

    I just saw this today, so sorry for coming in late. Did you ever resolve this?

    my suspicion is that it was one of the ZFS patches that did it. It came back fine after a reboot.
