From the bug report you linked to there was some talk of building the initramfs. I remembered that genkernel produced the following warning. ------------------------ WARNING -------------------------- No cachefile set on ZFS pool 'main'! Startup times will be VERY SLOW as a result. To set a cachefile, run a command like this: zpool set cachefile=/etc/zfs/zpool-main.chache main ... then re-run genkernel. ----------------------------------------------------------- I tried to rebuild the initramfs but that didn't help (although I might have been too quick to press the reset button after seeing the ZFS error.) I then just deleted /etc/zfs/zpool-main.cache and /etc/zfs/zpool.cache. (The funtoo install guide uses zpool.cache and genkernel uses zpool-main.cache. I suspect you only need 1 of these). When booting it complained about not being able to find this file but it autodetected and still booted. Now to find the correct way to attach a new drive to the pool.

Well that's annoying.

I have a raid0 striped ZFS pool which I have been booting from with no problems, which looks like this: # zpool status pool: main state: ONLINE config: NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM main ONLINE 0 0 0 sda ONLINE 0 0 0 sdb ONLINE 0 0 0 errors: No known data errors I want to make this into a 4 drive raid10. I purchased the 3rd drive and intend to add the 4th later. I did the following: # zpool attach main /dev/sda /dev/sdc Make sure to wait until resilver is done before rebooting. It looked like everything went well. # zpool status pool: main state: ONLINE scan: resilvered 62.1G in 0h50m with 0 errors on Fri Sep 13 10:26:04 2019 config: NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM main ONLINE 0 0 0 mirror-0 ONLINE 0 0 0 sda ONLINE 0 0 0 sdc ONLINE 0 0 0 sdb ONLINE 0 0 0 errors: No known data errors But on the next boot I got the following: >> Importing ZFS pool 'main' using cachefile '/etc/zfs/zpool-main.cache' cannot import 'main': one or more devices is currently unavailable !! Importing main failed >> Determining root device... cannot open 'main/funtoo/root': dataset does not exist !! main/funtoo/root is not a filesystem !! Could not find the root block device in ZFS=main/funtoo/root. So I fired up an ubuntu live cd and did the following # zpool import main -R /mnt/funtoo Which mounted without a problem. I tried to regenerate the cachefile using: # zpool set cachefile=/mnt/funtoo/etc/zfs/zpool-main.cash Which didn't help. I tried: # zpool set cachefile=none But that didn't do anything either. I tried to remove the drive I'd just added: # zpool detach main /dev/sdc The zpool looked ok; # zpool status pool: main state: ONLINE scan: resilvered 62.1G in 0h50m with 0 errors on Fri Sep 13 10:26:04 2019 config: NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM main ONLINE 0 0 0 sda ONLINE 0 0 0 sdb ONLINE 0 0 0 errors: No known data errors But it still will not boot. What can I do next?

I've just found the problem. When loggin into bugs.funtoo.org the username is case sensitive and has to be all lower case. When loggin into forums.funtoo.org the username is not case sensitive.

Correct. I can not log into code.funtoo.org. I even logged out of the forum and back in to make sure it wasn't something silly like using the wrong password.

Tried that but it just redirects me to https://www.funtoo.org/Welcome after login in. I've also looked thorough the settings for 2FA, but can't find anything.

It doesn't allow me to login with my forum account.

I don't appear to be able to create an account on bugs.funtoo.org. When I go to request an account it just says. Contact Site Administrators Your Jira administrator has not yet configured this contact form.

Ok, thanks.
