Hi,
I'd like to switch form freenas to openmediavault and I wanted to test the zfs funcitonality right now.
I found that zpool creation seems to take quite some time is that true?
I wanted to create a raid-z1 out of 4x3TB hard drives.
Just started the creation process and when I look into htop on the terminal I don't see any processes that could be creating something.
However nothing appears in the web gui as well.
Am I missing something here?
*edit*
Hardware:
HP Proliant N54L
4x3TB Seagate desktop 7,2k drives
System drive is a 30 GB kingston sata ssd
openmediavault is almost a clean install, no other plugins installed previously no other volumes created except the ones on the system drive
I just checked zpool events
Besides this from two hours ago, there is nothing shown.
resource.fs.zfs.statechange
resource.fs.zfs.statechange
resource.fs.zfs.statechange
resource.fs.zfs.statechange
ereport.fs.zfs.config.sync
ereport.fs.zfs.zpool.destroy
ereport.fs.zfs.config.sync
There is also no significant load on the system. CPU is between 0 and 1 % load all the time and the HDD led is blinking very rarely.
*edit2*
I just checked syslog:
There are 3 significant entries to the topic.
It says:
openmediavault zed: eid=5 class=config.sync pool=Main
openmediavault zed: eid=6 class=zpool.destroy pool=Main
openmediavault zed: eid=7 class=config.sync pool=Main
any idea why this is happening?
I also tried to create the zpool using force option but same result here...
I also have to reboot openmediavault and wipe the disks to add them to a new zpool again after another failed attempt. Otherwise they won't show up in the selection list.
*edit3*
I gave ZFS another go, I plugged 4x 8GB USB flashdrives in and created a zpool out of them, worked perfectly...
So where could be the problem with my 4x 3TB HDDs? Any Ideas?
