Error 5 on mount root. This was in virtaulbox after some sort of unexpected shutdown. To resolve i first made a snapshot in virtualbox booted from freebsd-disc1.iso (install dvd) zpool import reboot (and boot from zroot) zpool scrub zpool scrub said that i was going to loose some recently written data (generated by nightly poudrire build) I don't remember all, probably I needed some parameter to zpool import but all error messages were helpful it was quite easy to get it working again. Good luck and don't forget the backup/snapshot
