Hello all. I'm giving the forum a try before dropping a question to the following:
http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-geom
Problem:
When attempting to create a ZFS RAIDZ pool, I get the following message:
Command used to make this occur:
System:
Asus M3N WS
Athlon II X2 240
8gb Kingston DDR2 ECC
8 X 1.5tb Seagate SATA drives
60gb IDE drive
HighPoint RocketRAID 2220 PCI-X
PCI RivaTNT
Background Reading as to how I arrived here:
1. Setting up an encrypted ZFS with FreeBSD
2. GELI file systems unusable after "glabel label" operations
3. geli Manpage
4. [Solved] zpool create <pool> drives fails
5. ZFS Unavailable
Overview of What I've Done:
Reading #1 was used as a rough guideline to make a ZFS pool with geli encryption. I used Reading #4 & #5 to label my drives. I believe one should be able to create an encrypted ZFS pool using labels due to Reading #2. The commands from Reading #1 were slightly modified with help from Reading #3.
Code:
This labels each drive attached to my HighPoint controller with the Port # it is attached to, the company brand, and part of the serial number so that I can easily identify which drive has a problem in the future.
Encryption keys are created and placed within my home folder. Home directory is also encrypted, but passphrase is entered at boot (ie. keys are available).
Preparing to attach key to label to create *.eli in "label" folder. *.eli files do appear in Dolphin.
Attaching.
Attempting to create zpool fails (see code in Problem section). Everything attempted as root.
I imagine I have missed something fairly obvious. Any help is appreciated.
