Error: httm could not find any valid ZFS datasets on the system. (FreeBSD) #18

Hi there, I just set up a clean bare metal machine with ZFS to try HTTM. Here was my install process:

zfs snapshot -r bootdev5@orig
pkg install git rust
export PATH=$PATH:/root/.cargo/bin
git clone https://github.com/kimono-koans/httm.git
cargo install --path ./httm/
[no errors]
zfs snapshot -r bootdev5@after-httm

And then I go: httm -I -R ~/ And it goes: Error: httm could not find any valid ZFS datasets on the system.

Did I miss a step?

kimono-koans commented 2 years ago

Nope. Seems mostly correct.

Could you post the output of your mount command? From what I can see, httm is not detecting your ZFS mounts.

Thanks for the response!

No problem. Thanks for letting me know there's a problem. Want to get this working for you.

Your mount input looks exactly as expected. Let me see if I can reproduce this myself in a VM.

This should fix this particular issue: https://github.com/kimono-koans/httm/commit/aa52f1b162481e77b039bc4dd3cf0dbdd153bbb4

Just clone the latest bits and you should be good to try again.

Of course, I'm disappointed the experience isn't yet the best on FreeBSD. No one wants to be the proverbial canary in the coal mine. Unfortunately, I use only Linux and MacOS at home, so that's what gets tested.

UPDATE: Fixed the other linked issue.

That was very brief canary-ing on my part. Works great! Thanks!
