Double Mount Points leading to inacessable data

Did you do this yet? (Make a checkpoint.)

If you can confirm you have a checkpoint, try forcefully unmounting the dataset:

zfs unmount -f HealyMediaServer/Media2.0
22

dunno if it worked but it submitted and gave me nothing

23

Now try this again:

zfs inherit -r mountpoint HealyMediaServer

If that doesn’t work, then also umount HealyMediaServer and try again.

zfs unmount -f HealyMediaServer
24

it went through this time and sisnt day busy

25

Can you confirm?

zfs get -t filesystem -r mountpoint HealyMediaServer
26

my lord yes it says they are mounted correctly now

27

Export the pool and import it again, using only the GUI.

Then confirm everything is good.

28

but my storage tab shows no pools. whats next?

29

If that’s the case, it might be throwing off the GUI.

You can export the pool with the command-line, but import it with the GUI:

zpool export HealyMediaServer
30

alrighty, let me see if i can now share my media folder through SMB again

31

Yes, yes i can. thank you so much for helping me fix this

32

You can discard the “checkpoint” now:

zpool get checkpoint HealyMediaServer
zpool checkpoint -d HealyMediaServer
zpool get checkpoint HealyMediaServer

The third command should now result in a - under VALUE.

I recommend always creating a checkpoint for safety before playing around with zpool and zfs commands in the command-line, especially if you’re not too versed in how risky something may be.

33

should i have my apps in the same pool as my media?

34

That’s up to you.

Some people like to use a separate SSD pool to install their Apps and VMs, and keep their HDD pool(s) for data storage and media sharing.

35

okay, i was only wondering as i had a mixup a while ago with ix-applications and ix-apps being 2 different folders

36

Did you discard the checkpoint? Don’t sit on a checkpoint for longer than necessary.

37

yeah i have
