Uninstalling a Release Version

If you still have the Docs & Scripts folder from when you installed, use that. Otherwise, open the OpenZFS_on_OS_X_x.y.z.dmg file you originally downloaded.

If you no longer have the DMG file, you can download it again from the Downloads page.

1. Open the Docs & Scripts folder.
2. Find the file uninstall-openzfsonosx.sh.
3. Open Terminal.app. You can launch it from Spotlight or from /Applications/Utilities.
4. Close all open files from your pools.
5. Export every pool:

sudo zpool list

# For each pool listed
sudo zpool export <pool1name>
sudo zpool export <pool2name>

# Verify all pools have been exported
sudo zpool status
Run the uninstall script. You can drag and drop uninstall-openzfsonosx.sh into the Terminal window, or type:
/Volumes/OpenZFS*/Docs\ \&\ Scripts/uninstall-openzfsonosx.sh
Press Return.
Enter your password when prompted.

The script will then uninstall OpenZFS on OS X.

Uninstalling a Source Install

The procedure is the same as for uninstalling a release version
, except that you should use the script uninstall-make-install.sh instead of uninstall-openzfsonosx.sh.

If you want, you can also move ~/Developer/spl and ~/Developer/zfs to the Trash afterward.

Alternative: Generate a File List with DESTDIR

You can also determine which files were installed by installing into a DESTDIR first:

cd ~/Developer

cd spl
sudo make DESTDIR=~/Developer/destdir install
cd ..

cd zfs
sudo make DESTDIR=~/Developer/destdir install
cd ..

cd destdir
find . -type f > o3x_uninstall_list.txt
open o3x_uninstall_list.txt

You can then manually remove each listed file either with rm in Terminal or by dragging them to the Trash in Finder.

When finished, you can also remove:

~/Developer/destdir
~/Developer/spl
~/Developer/zfs
