Following Spaceinvader One's absolutely fantastic video of the upcoming (at the time) release of 6.12 I added my existing ZFS pool into the pools after upgrading.
After adding it and rebooting - one of the three datasets did not add in properly. I noticed that shares were created to manage the data sets. The one that didn't add properly "rsnapshot" came in empty. I checked the mountpoints both where I had it mounted and where the share put it and they were both empty so I removed the share. (that was a mistake...don't do that! The array can't stop properly because it can't be unmounted).
zfs list still shows the dataset still exists, but I'm struggling to figure out how to get it imported properly or access it. Not to worry about the data it's just 9TB of backup data from the main array. I have an additional server backing up an additional copy of all the data. I'm not worried about losing it, but I would like to figure out why it isn't being added properly.
After a forced reboot, the share was added back into the shares and remounted, but the directory is empty. It's doing a parity check since it couldn't unmount the removed share.
I have attached diagnostics.
I'm sure there is a wizardly ZFS command that can help with more information, but I'm a newb on that - help me help you with that info. If I recall there was some unusual things about dataset, but I can't remember the specifics.
