X-BeenThere: freebsd-fs@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Filesystems List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 13 Jan 2011 18:03:56 -0000 Hello. I'm trying to create some VirtualBox-images with a ZFS root filesystem, but I can't seem to boot from it. I just get a "No ZFS pools located, can't boot". If I take the generated image, and boot it with an mfsbsd-CD, import the pool, and reboot, it works fine, so I'm guessing zfsboot doesn't like it when the pool has been exported? I can't find a way to build an image-file with a pool, without having to export it from the buildsystem when I'm done, so I'm in a bit of a catch-22 here. Is this a bug in zfsboot, or simply just the way things work? -- Best Regards Kenneth Vestergaard
