ZFSonLinux modification for data rescue
Can't mount a version 6 file system on a version 5000 pool. Pool must be upgraded to mount this file system.
If you have this error message, you’ve got configured your ZFS to death… With normal tools, you are not able to mount the filesystem!
But there is a solution…
So, first of all, this is a warning! Modding the kernel driver for zfs could be dangerous for your data! Do that only if you know what you are doing!
ok, this is the starting point:
[ 715.987916] Can't mount a version 6 file system on a version 5000 pool [ 715.987916] . Pool must be upgraded to mount this file system.
Next download ZFS on Linux source.
~/zfs-0.6.1/module/zfs# vi zfs_vfsops.c
error = zfs_get_zplprop(os, ZFS_PROP_VERSION, &zsb->z_version);
//insert the next line here!
zsb->z_version = 5;
if (error) {
goto out;
} else if (zsb->z_version >
zfs_zpl_version_map(spa_version(dmu_objset_spa(os)))) {
(void) printk("Can't mount a version %lld file system "
"on a version %lld pool\n. Pool must be upgraded to mount "
"this file system.", (u_longlong_t)zsb->z_version,
(u_longlong_t)spa_version(dmu_objset_spa(os)));
error = ENOTSUP;
goto out;
}
then:
./configure make make install
-> reboot and cross your fingers!
root@nas:~# zfs mount tank/data filesystem 'tank/data' can not be mounted due to error 95 cannot mount 'tank/data': Invalid argument root@nas:~# dmesg [ 4.660482] Can't mount a version 6 file system on a version 5000 pool [ 4.660482] .

hmm, strange… this could not be!
lets have a look at the kernel module:
root@nas:/lib/modules# find . * -name "zfs*" ./3.8.0-19-generic/updates/dkms/zfs.ko ./3.8.0-19-generic/extra/zfs ./3.8.0-19-generic/extra/zfs/zfs.ko 3.8.0-19-generic/updates/dkms/zfs.ko 3.8.0-19-generic/extra/zfs 3.8.0-19-generic/extra/zfs/zfs.ko root@nas:/lib/modules# ls -alh 3.8.0-19-generic/updates/dkms/zfs.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.9M Jun 13 23:42 3.8.0-19-generic/updates/dkms/zfs.ko root@nas:/lib/modules# ls -alh 3.8.0-19-generic/extra/zfs/zfs.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.9M Jun 17 23:18 3.8.0-19-generic/extra/zfs/zfs.ko
ok, here is the problem, there are two kernel modules. the latest is the right one.
root@nas:/lib/modules# zpool export tank
root@nas:/lib/modules# rmmod zfs
root@nas:/lib/modules# insmod 3.8.0-19-generic/extra/zfs/zfs.ko
root@nas:/lib/modules# dmesg

some features will not be available without an explicit 'zpool upgrade'.

root@nas:/lib/modules# zpool import tank
cannot mount '/tank': directory is not empty
root@nas:/lib/modules# cd /tank root@nas:/tank# ls data root@nas:/tank# cd data root@nas:/tank/data# ls files.... root@nas:/tank/data#
yeah! 🙂
now you can start to copy your files to your backup drive!
good luck!
