Description Mark Felder freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2019-06-07 17:54:34 UTC
I ran into this error when my NVMe SSD used for log & l2arc failed and could not boot.

Mounting from zfs:zroot/ROOT/default failed with error 6.

Trying to recover from a livecd was not helping. I could import the pool, but not remove the device.

Trying to offline the device would return a different error -- 

cannot offline 16642195929625272860: log device has unplayed intent logs


I ended up building a custom zfs.ko with the attached patch which I derived from this ZoL Github issue: https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/issues/4270

This allowed me to make the pool usable again. After a scrub things are mostly OK now, though I have one mysterious error left; the other errors it reported are now gone.

root@colo:/usr/src # zpool status -v
  pool: zroot
 state: ONLINE
status: One or more devices has experienced an error resulting in data
        corruption.  Applications may be affected.
action: Restore the file in question if possible.  Otherwise restore the
        entire pool from backup.
