heya

has anyone tried mounting OmniOS pool on OpenZFS hosts?

in my case it's Linux, and it sees no pool, I think

sskras: A couple of years ago I imported a pool from OmniOS into Ubuntu without any problems

At the time it was a one-way trip; Linux rewrote the disk labels in the pool in a way that OmniOS couldn't handle

thanks

I tried importing a ~5y old rpool on the Windows implementation and got a BSOD

This was after decommissioning some old servers. I installed current Ubuntu on the old rpool disks, imported the data pool, and even tried messing with LXD to replace the zones on the original system. Replaing the postgres and java binaries and things got a whole lot further than I expected

Oh, now that was an adventure! :)

It does show the advantages of the KYSTY principle, in that the app was completely isolated from the OS.

KYSTY?

... and to circle back, now I thought I would try a newer pool from OmniOS. Tried downloading several .zfs.xz and .usb-dd images, but I am not sure what should I write after "zpool import -N" ...

Here is two excerpts from my terminal: irccloud.com/pastebin/PscgcQeb

ptribble: Thanks :)

I guess I will need to install OmniOS itself to get an empty native pool

(well, not necessary empty:)
