November 7, 2025Nov 7 You can't see me, but I am about bald from pulling my hair out.I have a 7.2 box that has: 1 zfs ssd cache.1 zfs mirrored pool of two drives.3 drives that I am trying to put into a RAID1Z pool.What is the procedure to create the pool of the 3 drives?I have gone round and round. Remove and recreate. Rinse and Repeat.My result is always the same. It looks like the pool is created, but the UI says Unmountable: wrong or no file system.ZFS master will let me see the dataset that was created.I have no I idea what is wrong and how to fix it.Help!!!!
November 7, 2025Nov 7 Author I looked at the log and saw references to the GPT on the drives needing to be rewritten.Rebooted the machine.I think I formatted again and things are fine.Unbalanced was still not seeing the pool. I killed removed it and reinstalled and now it works fine.I stopped and started the array multiple times but that didn't fix it. Rebooting was the step I was missing.
