Greeting- I will try to build as a module and see what happens. I have run zfs on root using the mfsbsd install images since 8.0 without any stability problems. I do not think we can yet run zfs on root with ARM, but I am not certain as I am not really real up on how these boxes boot or if the boot loader understands zfs. I guess we would have to chainload something that could load the kernel from zfs. -Brett -- wynkoop@wynn.com http://prd4.wynn.com/wynkoop/pgp-keys.txt 917-642-6925 718-717-5435 Gun Control: The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her own pantyhose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound
