Hello, I have had a pool of two hard drives in a mirror pool for some time but the OS got corrupted and I reinstalled the OS. Now I am on Linux Mint and my pool does not appear any more. When I use zpool import it says no pool available to import, I have looked around online and found you can import a zpool by specifying the drives, so I used zpool import -f -d /dev/sda1 -f -d /dev/sdb1 internal I get back my pool

pool: internal state: ONLINE scan: scrub repaired 0B in 00:08:39 with 0 errors on Tue Jun 18 18:38:40 2024 config:

NAME        STATE     READ WRITE CKSUM
internal    ONLINE       0     0     0
  mirror-0  ONLINE       0     0     0
    sdb     ONLINE       0     0     0
    sda     ONLINE       0     0     0

errors: No known data errors

But I am unable to mount the pool, zfs mount internal returns

cannot mount ‘internal’: legacy mountpoint use mount(8) to mount this filesystem

I tried using mount but I am not having any success, saying mount: internal: can’t fin in /etc/fstab.

Is there any chance to get this pool back on the computer or is it a lost cause.

Thank you for the help.

    I guess you need to “zpool import -f” because your system has crashed before and did not shutdown properly.

    After reading again, I understand that your pool is alive and well. It is just not mounted anywhere.

    Look into /etc/fstab if you find the correct mountpoint there. Then tell it to your ZFS with "zfs set mountpoint= "
