Re: Access ZFS pool in debian 10 single user mode

[James Allsopp <jamesaallsopp@googlemail.com>]

This is just debian grub recovery mode so on the same machine, so hopefully zfsutil will be there. Looked at this;

zfs                  4214784  9
zunicode              335872  1 zfs
zlua                  172032  1 zfs
zavl                   16384  1 zfs
icp                   331776  1 zfs
zcommon                98304  2 zfs,icp
znvpair                90112  2 zfs,zcommon
spl                   122880  5 zfs,icp,znvpair,zcommon,zavl

So if I just modprobe those from the column on the left, it should work?

Thanks,

James

Does your recovery mode have the zfs kernel modules and zfsutil?

Without it, you'll never mount things.
