Hello Jan,
sorry for my late response, just saw this issue.
For what is this zroot/var
dataset when it's not used?
A simple fix would be to delete this zroot/var
dataset or set the mountpoint to none
.
I need to think about this a little bit at first. Maybe zsd
should check the output of the mount
command?
Hi Jürgen, thank you.
I am not aware of the reasons but this is the default setup on FreeBSD 13.0… No idea why it is done this way. I am new to ZFS.
If I can check something, I am happy to help when I'm back from ski.
regards, Jan
Hello Jürgen, did you find the time to think about this?
Would the 'canmount' be an option? Maybe with an additional flag, so standard behavior is not modified.
Thank you and have a nice weekend.
I am having an issue on FreeBSD, where zsd is using the wrong dataset, and is not finding the changed files. This is a default, out of the box FreeBSD 13.0 ZFS installation.
Actually, the dataset should be zroot/ROOT/default and not zroot/var. /var is no mount point for zroot/var.
However, there must be some misunderstanding about the meaning of the mount point in zfs list because zfs list is showing /var as being a mount point (but there are only about 3 MB of data, while I have GB's of data on /var/db ...)
It is my understanding that zroot/var and /var are only placeholders for /var/audit, /var/log, and so on.
Maybe a solution could be to check if the file system can be mounted?
Could this be looked at? Thank you and have a happy new year!
Jan
