Sadly, this is due to the fact that sparc64 is big endian, and our UFS implementation isn't bi-endian... If you need to make a UFS file system on amd64 for use on sparc64, use the makefs utility w/ the option -B big to create it... Just ran into the same issue on an EdgeRouter Lite, which is a big endian MIPS64 machine... Though I'm a bit surprized that it happens w/ ZFS as ZFS is suppose to support either endianness automaticly.. Did you try this on raw disks? -- John-Mark Gurney Voice: +1 415 225 5579 "All that I will do, has been done, All that I have, has not."
