[OpenIndiana-discuss] ZFS version issue

[Reginald Beardsley]

 OK.

There are 3 instances of HW. A pair of Z400s with 3 way mirror rpool and 3 slice RAIDZ1, one of which also has a 3 TB plain ZFS pool. One Hipster instance and one s10_u8, the latter.

A) 2017 Z400 3 disk RAIDZ1 
B) s10_u8 Z400 3 disk RAIDZ1 + 1 ZFS pool
C) 2024.10 Z840 4 disk 4 slice RAIDZ2 + 4 slice RAIDZ1

X) 300 GB ??? u8 ZFS USB HD
Y) 4 TB WD u8 ZFS USB HD
Z) 16 GB FAT flash drive

A, B & C work with Z
A, B & C work with X
A & B work with Y
C does not even see Y via USB

That's as simply as I can state it. I'll do a port by port test of all 3 with Z as soon as all the scrubs finish.

Alright, in your original message it seemed like you were saying the
only difference between the USB device working, and not working, was
the OS version.  I assumed you meant that you had booted the three
different OSes on the same hardware.  It sounds like that's not the
case, though, and that actually the device works on two wholly
separate computers, but does not work on this third computer?

Can you give some more detail about:

    - "the USB port is OK" -- how do you know?

    - when you plug the device into the computer that isn't working,
      are there any log messages in /var/adm/messages?

    - are there messages when you unplug it again?

    - is there more than one USB port on the computer that
      isn't working?


Cheers.
