Hello, I used the zfs port to Mac OS X (http://zfs.macosforge.org) to create a storage pool under Mac OS X. The pool can be imported successfully under FreeBSD: root:~-114# zpool import macpool root:~-115# zpool list macpool NAME SIZE USED AVAIL CAP HEALTH ALTROOT macpool 6,94G 510K 6,94G 0% ONLINE - root:~-116# zfs list macpool NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT macpool 474K 6,83G 308K /macpool and is fully accessible to the root user: root:~-118# id uid=0(root) gid=0(wheel) groups=0(wheel),5(operator) root:~-119# ls -ld /macpool drwxr-xr-x 7 root wheel 8 7 Àâã 16:59 /macpool root:~-120# ls -l /macpool total 43 drwx------ 3 root wheel 3 7 Àâã 16:31 .Spotlight-V100 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 35014 7 Àâã 16:31 .VolumeIcon.icns drwx------ 2 root wheel 4 7 Àâã 16:32 .fseventsd drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 2 7 Àâã 16:59 backup drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 2 7 Àâã 16:59 downloads drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 2 7 Àâã 16:58 music According to the file permissions on /macpool (drwxr-xr-x), anyone should have read access to it. This is not the case though: root:~-121# su user % id uid=1003(user) gid=1003(user) groups=1003(user),0(wheel),5(operator) % ls -l /macpool ls: /macpool: Permission denied % cd /macpool /macpool: Permission denied. Is this a bug, or is there some way to get access to /macpool as an ordinary user? The pool was created under version zfs-119 of the Mac OS X port; the FreeBSD version is: root:~-122# uname -a FreeBSD xxxx 8.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT #0: Sat Aug 2 14:19:33 EEST 2008 root@xxxx:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/MACBOOK amd64 with the latest zfs patch, but the problem was also present before applying the patch. Thanks, Boris Kotzev
