Thanks everyone, I managed to repurpose the swap partition to a root
UFS partition and
managed to copy everything over. What's puzzling is that I still get
zio_read errors.
It looks like so now:
root@coyote:~# gpart show
=3D> 40 7814037088 ada0 GPT (3.6T)
40 1024 1 freebsd-boot (512K)
1064 16777216 2 freebsd-ufs [bootme] (8.0G)
16778280 16778200 4 freebsd-swap (8.0G)
33556480 7780478976 3 freebsd-zfs (3.6T)
7814035456 1672 - free - (836K)
and I ran this to replace gptzfsboot with gptboot (or so I thought):
# gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptboot -i 1 ada0
But after rebooting, I get these errors on the console still. Why
would gptboot try to read zfs metadata?
