18:05:16 <markmcb> if i boot into single user mode, and attempt to import a zfs storage pool that is part of the normal system, i get "cannot import 'zstore': pool was previously in use from another system." ... is that expected? it suggests -f to import
18:07:38 <markmcb> (this pool has never been part of another system)
18:07:57 <rwp> Is hostname set at that point in single user mode?
18:08:23 <rwp> I have only ever encountered that question prompt when I have actually been importing an array onto a different system.
18:09:05 <rwp> ( And also I am running root on zfs so I can't get to single user mode without having already had the array imported. )
18:12:09 <markmcb> rwp: hostname is not set, so maybe that's it? it's not clear what it references.
18:12:42 <rwp> In single user mode try setting the hostname before trying the import.  That's a guess on my part.
18:13:35 <markmcb> no luck. there's a bit about "Last accessed by  (hostid=57e453c6)"
18:13:38 <kevans> i'd suspect it's using hostuuid -- yeah
18:14:28 <kevans> most likely smbios isn't supplying the hostid for this system, it was generated and we rely on the hostid rc script to set it from what's recorded in userland
18:15:44 <markmcb> is there a way to trigger it so that it matches, or should i just ignore it and -f on the import?
18:17:17 <rwp> TIL that there is a hostid and a hostuuid. Try this: sysctl kern.hostuuid kern.hostid
18:19:26 <markmcb> hostid is 0, hostuuid is populated by no part matches what zfs import reports
18:20:57 <markmcb> *but no part
18:21:01 <rwp> Maybe run /etc/rc.d/hostid to set it?  I am learning this all today for the first time myself.
18:21:18 <rwp> It seems that systems might have a hardware uuid: kenv -q smbios.system.uuid
18:21:56 <rwp> But the system saves the uuid it is using: cat /etc/hostid
18:22:04 <markmcb> That did it. "/etc/rc.d/hostid start" populated hostid and now they match.
18:22:27 <markmcb> import worked with no complaints
18:22:35 <rwp> Good deal!
18:23:04 <rwp> Notice I have avoided making any query about what needed to be done in single user mode that also needed to have an auxiliary data array mounted.  :-)
18:23:19 <markmcb> thanks for the help!
18:24:46 <markmcb> if you're curious, i've got a bulk storage zfs device and planning to change some things up with how i'm setup and thought it wise to do it in single user mode
18:26:25 <rwp> I was curious.  Thanks! :-)
23:53:01 <HER> So i have a jail and "service pf status" says it is enabled inside jail, but there is no /etc/pf.conf on the jail ... the host has /etc/pf.conf and pf enabled. When i run "service pf onestop" in the jail, it stops pf in the jail and in the host also. Why is this ? Is it a misconfiguration that i have ?
