Freenas 10.3 STABLE on 45Drives Storage Pod.
Have been using with current configured 4 pools, each with one dataset, since 2014.
A noob administrator unmounted the 'vdev2/dataset2' manually like a unix filesystem: 'umount ..'.
I plinked on it a bit for a fix without rebooting and apparently have demoted myself to noob cause somehow, I've now got the vdev2/dataset2 dataset mounting on top of the OS /. ie., during normal boot everything is fine until the zfs pools are imported, then as soon this vdev is imported, no new processes can proceed and of course no commands are found a /bin/sh shell prompt.
The other 3 pools and their datasets mount without problem if I manage to get the vdev2 manually imported to an altroot different from the default /mnt, tho the import throws a dataset error that it can't create the mountpoint. I can 'zfs set mountpoint=/somesuch vdev2/dataset2' and get to the data.
For starters, how do I get to the best working environment? Is there a boot flag to start zfs service but disable importing existing known and unknown pools?
If I get there, what and how do I set/re-set pool/dataset properties to get things back to where they originally were?
Any suggestions are most welcome.
