=== Zpool created with bus-based disk names === | |||
If you used bus-based disk names in the <syntaxhighlight inline>zpool create</syntaxhighlight> command, e.g., <syntaxhighlight inline>/dev/sda</syntaxhighlight>, NixOS may run into issues importing the pool if the names change. Even if the pool is able to be mounted (with <syntaxhighlight lang="nix" inline>boot.zfs.devNodes = "/dev/disk/by-partuuid";</syntaxhighlight> set), this may manifest as a <syntaxhighlight inline>FAULTED</syntaxhighlight> disk and a <syntaxhighlight inline>DEGRADED</syntaxhighlight> pool reported by <syntaxhighlight inline>zpool status</syntaxhighlight>. The fix is to re-import the pool using disk IDs: | If you used bus-based disk names in the <syntaxhighlight inline>zpool create</syntaxhighlight> command, e.g., <syntaxhighlight inline>/dev/sda</syntaxhighlight>, NixOS may run into issues importing the pool if the names change.

=== Zpool created with disk IDs === | |||
If you used disk IDs to refer to disks in the <code>zpool create</code> command, e.g., <code>/dev/disk/by-id</code>, then NixOS may consistently fail to import the pool unless <code>boot.zfs.devNodes = "/dev/disk/by-id"</code> is also set. | |||
