Few things: - you don't need fstab entry for ZFS - make sure you have zfs_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf - make sure (perhaps this is your issue) /boot/zfs/zpool.cache is writable. This is where ZFS remembers (among many things) what you had previously imported. BTW why your /boot is ext2? - check that "zfs get canmount home" returns "on" -- Best regards, Derek mailto:takeda@takeda.tk If brute force doesn't solve your problems, then you aren't using enough.
