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:


<span style="color:#323232;">NAME        STATE     READ WRITE CKSUM
</span><span style="color:#323232;">internal    ONLINE       0     0     0
</span><span style="color:#323232;">  mirror-0  ONLINE       0     0     0
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    sdb     ONLINE       0     0     0
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    sda     ONLINE       0     0     0
</span>

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.

I guess you need to “zpool import -f” because your system has crashed before and did not shutdown properly.

After reading again, I understand that your pool is alive and well. It is just not mounted anywhere.

Look into /etc/fstab if you find the correct mountpoint there. Then tell it to your ZFS with "zfs set mountpoint= "

Maybe @jimsalter can help. I’m not in my pool right now.

For anyone with ZFS related issues I’d honestly recommend just going to Jim’s site- discourse.practicalzfs.com which is invaluable. Lot more help and a trove of valuable info already exist there.

It states it can’t find it in /etc/fstab. So do you have it there? And does it have the correct ID?

(I don’t know how zfs pools work, I’m just going of what the mount command said)
