zfs-fuse does not mount filesystems on boot

[Dan]

Good day all,

Everything looks fine in "zfs list" However nothing ends up being
mounted. The pool directory appears "Campground" but nothing
underneath it.

If I export the pool and import it again everything mounts, but I
would prefer to not have to do that.

Thank you for your time,
Dan

Try: zfs mount -a

I had a problem like this and it turned out that modprobe was not
loading the fuse module. so I had the zpf daemon running and other
stuff. I got output like yours showing the zfs filesystem and whatnot
but zfs would not mount. As soon as I probed fuse things worked.

zfs mount -a does work, however unfortunately it is still not mounting
at boot-time.

Would this cause zfs-fuse to not mount during boot (requiring a zfs
mount -a) command?

I also had to create a startup script to start the zfs daemon (using
start-stop-daemon --background). I tried adding zfs mount -a
afterwards, however that did not change the result.

Thanks all for your time.

That could be the problem if you're alreading running "zfs mount -a" on the
boot process, otherwise zfs-fuse wouldn't mount the FSs.

This could be a race between zfs-fuse and zfs - zfs-fuse might take a little
bit of time to initialize. Maybe add a "sleep 2" before zfs mount -a?

Anyway, the plan is to make zfs-fuse mount filesystems automatically when
started, and provide a command line option to suppress that behaviour.

That sounds like a great idea.

Little OT.

Is ionice recommended with fuse?
Could I hope in better performance if I use, say
ionice -c1 /usr/bin/zfs-fuse &
at boot time?

I think that shouldn't improve performance too much, but you can use it
if it helps.
