The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer.

I get this dialog for each disk that is part of the pool. I tried to add to fstab

LABEL=zfs none zfs rw,noauto
LABEL=Untitled\0409 none zfs rw,noauto

I tried to find the UUID of the ZFS drives so I could use that in /etc/fstab but couldn't figure out what they were.

I dismiss all the dialogs with "ignore" and things function correctly

Please, what's the version and build of the OS?

[ilovezfs]

OS version and build is not relevant. This is simply a question of whether you have a .fs bundle or not.

[alanruttenberg]

There was an fs bundle as part of the old zfs I removed. Should I put it back? The only other thing I can think of is that the dist I downloaded(http://lundman.net/ftp/osx.zfs/osx.zfs-signed-20131126.dmg) didn't have a mount_zfs binary, which I notice is built from the source. FWIW OS is OS X Mavericks 10.9.

[ilovezfs]

There is no zfs.fs yet. If you notice we have a branch zfsbundle: https://github.com/zfs-osx/zfs/tree/zfsbundle

I am not thrilled about using a file system bundle at all because it must go in /System/Library/Filesystems, and Apple does not look in /Library/Filesystems. Yet, they are planning to lock down /System. We have filed an rdar with Apple, and they responded that they already have this issue in their system, but they have not committed to "fixing" it nor given any time table for when it would be fixed if it is fixed at all.

[ilovezfs]

@alanruttenberg what ZFS were you using?

@alanruttenberg "There was an fs bundle as part of the old zfs I removed." I was referring to that. i.e., ZEVO or old MacZFS. In any event, what I really wanted to know was how are your disks partitioned. diskutil list output would be good. It turns out that you can suppress the annoying popup with a little trick.

@alanruttenberg ok good. Are you able to come over to #mac-zfs on IRC freenode?

[alanruttenberg]

Passing into sleep. Tomorrow, thanks!

OK

A writeup of the the procedure @ilovezfs walked me through is now on the wiki at https://github.com/zfs-osx/zfs/wiki/Osx-complains-zfs-disk-unreadable-at-startup

Back to hitting a wall on this @ilovezfs. Oddly 10.11 it seems as though device nodes are no longer being listed on diskutil list or df, etc. Apparently my ZFS volumes were created long enough ago to not have the appropriate GUID to prevent this annoyance. Any thoughts?
