Sda 0x1fe lists many items that are called signatures… most of them zfs_member, but at the end my GPT partition table, another copy of the GPT partition table at the top of the disk, and the PMBR (protective MBR).

Now, wipefs sounds like a dangerous tool, and it is, so another clonezilla backup first. much research, and I finally find a tool called wipefs which I can use to check the disk. What is going on? There must be some residue of ZFS on the disk?.

Went ahead with clonezilla and restored my Debian filesystem and my data filesystem. I did that with gparted…made a GPT partition table and created 7 partitions … EFISystem, bios-boot, 4 x ext4 partitions, and a swap partiton. So I had to put the partitions back before I could restore filesystems. They were saveparts images - ie images of partitions. It wrote a ZFS filesystem all over my 500Gb SSD… wiped everything, even grub on the MBR.įortunately I had clonezilla backups.

I was looking a TRUEOS DVD and I thought it was a live system, but it was an install DVD.
