Hi,
to get rid of the ZFS signatures, run:(1)
wipefs -b -o 0xe8e0d3f000 -t noext4 /dev/sdb
wipefs -b -o 0xe8e0c3f000 -t noext4 /dev/sdb1(This will remove any signature BUT ext4 at the given offset on the given device)
(2)
After that run the following commands again:
wipefs -n /dev/sdb
wipefs -n /dev/sdb1If there are still ZFS signatures displayed, run the following commands
wipefs -b -o <newly-found-offset> -t noext4 /dev/sdb
wipefs -b -o <newly-found-offset> -t noext4 /dev/sdb1
Continue with (2) until there are no more ZFS signatures displayed.
I needed 15 runs of "wipefs -b -o ..." (probably because I was playing around with ZFS before going for mdadm/ext4)Good luck,

Yes, succes!!
Did exactly as you all suggested.
to see the zfs signatures to delete:
wipefs -n /dev/sdbThen to delete them
wipefs -b -o 0xe8e0d3f000 -t noext4 /dev/sdbIn my case, there were only zfs signatures on the sdb drive, not on any sdb1...
after that rebooted into OMV 4.x and the drive is there again. And most important, all data is there and still in one piece. !!! -

just to confirm.
wipefs -b -o 0xe8e0d3f000 -t noext4 /dev/sdb
does NOT work in OMV,
instead I used:
- systemrescuecd-x86-5.3.1.iso as OS.
- Used Rufus to burn iso to USB. -
does NOT work in OMV,
You didn't have to do that OMV-Extras Kernel tab scroll to the bottom, install from there and then use the reboot button....but that's OK you now have a rescue usb for next time

No, I didnt. Missed that.
However, I called the wipefs command. It is there and it reacts as it should. Although, when it tells me the ZFS signature is deleted, it is not. Just as mentioned in other threads.
I would gues (as a noob) that if a command responds, it can be used and it is functional. But I might be wrongAnyway. You are right. I got it working thanks to your help. THANKS!!!

In Debian Stretch (OMV4) the version of util-linux (including wipefs) is 2.29.2-1+deb9u1.
Current stable version of util-linux is 2.32.1. In Debian this version is in the testing repo and has the following note for wipefs:
Note that some filesystems and some partition tables store more magic strings on the device (e.g. FAT, ZFS, GPT). The wipefs command (since v2.31) lists all the offset where a magic strings have been detected.
So new version with additional functionality.
Debian is quite conservative when it comes to updates, so when you need newer versions then the ones that are in the repo you need some kind of work around.
