45Drives ZFS shows no pools + network path connection issues

[AlexD]

Hey all,

For context, I have a HL15 with 15 x 10TB WD Purples to be used as surveillance storage. Currently have 14 drives set up wtih raidZ2. 1 not set up yet for misc photo and file storage.

I am having some trouble with 45Drives ZFS not showing pools after creation. Followed startup guide to the T. Creates a pool and under 45Drive Disks it hows 14 Drives in a RaidZ2. If I run ‘zpool list’ it shows the pool as being active and total disk space.

I also had it connected to the Axis Server as a storage location directly from cameras. However, after a restart it lost connection and it now refuses to reconnect. Says it cannot find the share even though nothing has changed. All services are running. It took 2 hours of entering the same username and password as well as \address\share and then miraculously just worked… the first time it was set up

See photo for the errors recieved.

ALSO the service error is for ‘tuned’… not able to get it to started.

Clearly I have set something up incorrectly lol. Especially since no pools show up under the ‘45Drives ZFS’ tab only through terminal. My system is up to date as well.

I am using root account for connection.

saw this in another thread:

Similar issue with zfs pools with new HL15 fully burned. The disk slots were aliased on mine 1-1 → sda. etc. However after creating pool, it will not show up in Houston. Shows up fine on command line with zpool list though

Besides posting here you might also send a note to info@45homelab.com for support. Based on the post you linked and a couple others, they seem to be having problems with cockpit-zfs. See if you can figure out if cockpit-zffs or cockpit-zffs-manager is installed and which version.

@AlexD

Followed startup guide to the T.

I don’t have the full build, so aren’t sure exactly what’s in the startup guide, but did the ZFS tab arrive not working? Or did it stop working after some change?
