I have a pool that had a drive fail and zfs is being stupid about it. I added a disk which ended up going to /dev/sdl I used the disk by id to add it in and due to that after the other drive failed during or just before a reboot i get the following line.

5642991870772164099 UNAVAIL 0 0 0 was /dev/sdl1
any idea how to get the info to find what the serial number of 5642991870772164099 is?

On a Linux system, if the drive is still nominally functional, then lsblk likely will work:

$ lsblk -do name,model,serial /dev/sdl NAME MODEL SERIAL sdl ST6000NM0125-1YY ZADAEV8S

FreeBSD users would use diskinfo:

$ diskinfo -s da11 WD-WMC1S5694795

OTOH, if you're unsure whether that UUID still associates with /dev/sdl, you could search the /dev/disk/ tree and grep for the UUID you're looking for:

$ find /dev/disk/ -ls | grep 5642991870772164099 484 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Jun 8 22:24 /dev/disk/by-uuid/5642991870772164099 -> ../../sdl

  • sadly it looks like that number is an internal thing in zfs and nothing to do with the linux method of displaying partition/disk info. I will have to see what happens when using scsi-xxx or wwn-0x.... nvme-eui.xxx naming when creating pools. Commented Jul 17, 2022 at 6:25
  • see superuser.com/questions/1732532/… export and import of a pool with known good drives and a shifted drive letter like above allows zfs to find it again. ls -collor /dev/disk/by-id/ > /disklayout.txt will give you a listing to go off of if you do so before you have issues.
