Question about mounting ZFS pool
  • Thank you will have to look into that particular forum. Though my problem has been solved for now I will definitely have more things that come up in the future and that seems like just the place for this sort of thing.

  • Thank you so much, where did you find this bit of information? I have been trying to solve this problem for the past week or so, but my google foo failed me on this one. Was about to give up on this one.

  • Question about mounting ZFS pool

    Hello, I have had a pool of two hard drives in a mirror pool for some time but the OS got corrupted and I reinstalled the OS. Now I am on Linux Mint and my pool does not appear any more. When I use zpool import it says no pool available to import, I have looked around online and found you can import a zpool by specifying the drives, so I used zpool import -f -d /dev/sda1 -f -d /dev/sdb1 internal I get back my pool

    > pool: internal state: ONLINE scan: scrub repaired 0B in 00:08:39 with 0 errors on Tue Jun 18 18:38:40 2024 config:

    NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM internal ONLINE 0 0 0 mirror-0 ONLINE 0 0 0 sdb ONLINE 0 0 0 sda ONLINE 0 0 0

    errors: No known data errors

    But I am unable to mount the pool, zfs mount internal returns

    >cannot mount 'internal': legacy mountpoint use mount(8) to mount this filesystem

    I tried using mount but I am not having any success, saying mount: internal: can't fin in /etc/fstab.

    Is there any chance to get this pool back on the computer or is it a lost cause.

    Thank you for the help.

    Overhauling our drug policies
  • Even with a labour led government doubt much will be done, I was really hopefully for labour to actually do something, not just about drugs but also about housing and a land tax. They did really well through COVID but apart from that it was a lot of promises and a lot of not doing anything. Kinda odd they chose 3 waters as their thing though, considering how unpopular it was with some people.

  • I haven't properly played Minecraft in years but I find myself out in nature and just imagining how I would build the area up, how the house would be made, what sort of pathways I would make. Guess what I am saying is I left Minecraft a while back but it has not left me yet.

  • Beginner questions about ZFS and how to use my drives.
  • Yeah definitely wanting the redundancy, most of what I will be storing will not be life changing if lost just a big inconvenience, and for the life changing stuff I plan on having it backed up to cloud storage.

  • Beginner questions about ZFS and how to use my drives.
  • That is a good point about stress testing them, if memory serves me well I believe one of the 12TB would disconnect a while back maybe 2 or so years ago when I was using windows and doing large backups. I think the consensus around seems to just mirror the 6TB and mirror the 12TB drives separate, it's probably what I will end up doing since in the end I am tripling the amount of storage and really allowing me to lose two drives albeit two different drives before data loss. Feel I may be getting a bit greedy with what I have and should just be happy with what I am getting with that. Looking at getting an upgrade in about a year or two either way.

  • Thank you for that will have to have a look into it since I am quite new and I am not completely sure how to go about things in a way to not regret it later down the line in half a year or so.

  • Beginner questions about ZFS and how to use my drives.

    Hello, I currently have a home server mainly for media, in which I have an SSD for the system and 2 6TB hard drives set up in raid 1 using mdadm, its the most I can fit in the case. I have been getting interested in ZFS and wanting to expand my storage since it's getting pretty full. I have 2 12TB external hard drives. My question is can I create a pool (I think that's what they are called), using all 4 of these drives in a raidz configuration, or is this a bad idea?

    (6TB+6TB) + 12TB + 12TB, should give me 24TB, and should work even if one of the 6TB or 12TB fails if I understand this correctly.

    How would one go about doing this? Would you mdadm the 2 6TB ones into a raid 0 and then create a pool over that?

    I am also just dipping my toes now into Nixos so having a resource that would cover that might be useful since the home server is currently running Debian. This server will be left at my parents house and would like it to have minimal onsite support needed. Parents just need to be able to turn screen on and use the browser.

    Thank you

    Microsoft won’t let you close OneDrive on Windows until you explain yourself
  • Which is true, a lot of people see it as black magic. They are just used to what the product comes with, even if you could install iOS on an Android phones or the other way around, people would still buy an iphone cause it comes with it.

  • Probably the first response I am in agreement with, there isn't an easy solution and I hope the one chosen has the least amount of casualties in the long run.

    I have to go but I may come back to this. Have a good day, and hopefully neither of us will have to live through what's going on there.

  • If the US had given Hamas $3.8 billion, it definitely wouldn't have been used for an iron dome.

    Yes I do believe Hamas is inherently evil, the same way I believe the north Korean leadership is evil.

    Plenty of variables to take into account, and it's understandable how they got like this, but the same way a lot of serial killers have an abusive upbringing, does not mean everyone with an abusive upbringing will be a serial killers.

  • Choosing a printer

    So I am looking out for an inkjet printer that can print in A3 size. The Epson ecotanks seem like they best fit my requirements, just wondering if it is actually refillable, and does not lock me out of actually using it after a certain amount of prints, no chips BS and all that. I have seen some stuff about the ink pad filling and then not being able to use it anymore ? Does anyone have experience with this printer and can vouch that it is not a gimmick and will actually work as a printer for a long time. Also how is Linux support for it. Thank you

    Skyrim on Linux with mods

    Hello, thinking of giving Skyrim a go on Linux through Proton, does anyone have a resource that helped with getting some mods going? Can a mod manager be used ?
