Hi List,

With FreeBSD 13 getting near release I was trying out a new hardware =
setup for a future upgrade, in where a zfs SATA RAID-10 array would be =
accelated by some NVME devices for cache, log, and special meta data.

However, booting the setup under VMWare fusion gives me a lot of =
zio_read error: 5 / ZFS: i/o error - all block copies unavailable =
whereas in VirtualBox using the same VMDKs the setup boots without =
issue, both in UEFI mode

I used the guided ZFS install, GPT UEFI only, and choose RAID-10 and =
zero swap as I want to use the NVME devices for that later on.

when on the loader prompt lsdev / lszfs / ls works through latter two =
throw out zio_read error: 5 but show recognisable output (zfs =
filesystems, files)


disk0 through 4 are the SATA disks with only an EFI and ZFS GPT =
partition each, disk4/5 is reserved for the special vdevs (but not in =
use yet) and swap

If I press escape and end up in VMWare=E2=80=99s UEFI setup screen I can =
boot from any ada*p1 drive and continue as normal.
Is UEFI with OpenZFS too new, or is this an issue in VMWare?



Also, I=E2=80=99m missing /boot/*efifat* in FreeBSD13. What is the =
procedure for updating EFI loaders?
