The zpool commands hang and remain in memory till reboot if storage connectivity is lost

Last published : Sep 23, 2026
If the FailMode attribute of zpool is set to continue or wait and the underlying storage is not available, the zpool commands hang and remain in memory until the next reboot.
This happens when storage connectivity to the disk is lost, the zpool commands hang and they cannot be stopped or killed. The zpool commands run by the monitor entry point remains in the memory.
Workaround: There is no recommended workaround for this issue.
