https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=226714 --- Comment #4 from Andriy Gapon <avg@FreeBSD.org> --- (In reply to vas from comment #0) I am not sure why the first wiki link is marked as "does not boot". The instructions look sane, but maybe there is a mistake in them. Someone needs to follow them exactly and to check what happens. The second link also contains perfectly valid instructions. It is not necessary to create a bsdlabel and a partition within it for ZFS, but it can be done if so desired. zfsboot(8) is the worst, of course. It instructs to create a bsdlabel within the slice, but the subsequent instructions are for installing ZFS to the slice. So, the label is useless at best and harmful at worst. I think that "gpart create -s BSD ada0s1" should be removed from the manual page. Everything else looks okay. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
