Hello, During my tests (succesful) to directly boot from ZFS (with zfsboot and gptzfsboot) I encounter the error "can't boot 'kernel'" if too many devices/pools are connected to the machine. In my case: 2 SAS disks with 2 pools 2 SATA disks with 2 pools 1 USB key with one pool `heap` command: Active Allocations: 171/173 536576 bytes reserved 527800 bytes allocated `ls` command: open '/' failed: too many open files If I reboot without the USB key all is OK. If I reboot from the USB key after disconnecting 2 disks all is OK. By the way, the /boot/loader in 7.2-STABLE don't work, complains about forth not found. The previous tests were made with 7.2-STABLE (May 31) with /boot/loader from 8.0-CURRENT. Henri
