I am trying to create RAID-Z pool on 3 disks, but I'm getting this error after reboot:

zpool create -f -o altroot=/mnt datapool raidz vtbd0p3 /dev/da0 /dev/da1

Error is

ZFS: i/o error - all block copies unavailable
invalid format

FreeBSD/x86 boot
ZFS: i/o error - all block copies unavailable
can't fild dataset /boot/kernel/kernel
Default: datapool/boot:/boot/kernel/kernel
boot:

It seems to me that you trashed you FreeBSD installation, creating a new zpool on /dev/da0 and /dev/da1 (overwriting what was previously there).

I strongly suggest you to never create a pool with -f unless you really know what you are doing.

  • i tried without -f but still same issue persisting ```root@mfsbsd:~ # zpool create -o altroot=/mnt datapool vtbd0p3 /dev/da da0% da1% ; zpool create -o altroot=/mnt datapool raidz vtbd0p3 /dev/da0 /dev/da1 ; zfs create -o mountpoint=/ -o canmount=noauto datapool/boot ; mount -t zfs datapool/boot /mnt ; cp -r /temp/* /mnt/. ; zpool set bootfs=datapool/boot datapool ; zfs create -o mountpoint=/storage -o canmount=noauto datapool/storage ; zfs create -o mountpoint=/conf -o canmount=noauto datapool/conf ; ``` – Sreekanth Chityala Feb 12 '21 at 16:07
  • Using `zpool create -f` you overwrote your original boot pool. So you can't "recover" re-creating another pool (overwriting it yet another time). You probably need to reinstall your FreeBSD system. – shodanshok Feb 12 '21 at 16:12
  • no, im not over writing. i created the new droplet and created partitions and zpool without -f as per above commands. please help me – Sreekanth Chityala Feb 12 '21 at 16:18
  • @SreekanthChityala using ZFS requires some understanding of the underlying storage stack, so I strongly advise you to read its documentation before using it. – shodanshok Feb 12 '21 at 16:24
  • now i created partitions(rooot,swap,boot) on each hard disk. now able to create raidz with 3 hard disks on each vdev for upto 2 vdevs. but getting same zfs i/o error if i create 2 vdevs contains 4 disks per vdev. or more disks per vdev – Sreekanth Chityala Feb 16 '21 at 14:43
