https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=226714 Bug ID: 226714 Summary: zfsboot(8) erroneously suggests creating a BSD label Product: Documentation Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: Documentation Assignee: freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.org Reporter: vas@mpeks.tomsk.su man zfsboot in the example of "zfsboot can also be installed in an MBR slice" suggests that a BSD label must be created within the slice: gpart create -s BSD ada0s1 In fact, a BSD label in the slice prevents zfsboot from detecting the bootable zfs pool in the slice. More details and a working example of creating a bootable zfs pool within an MBR slice can be found here: https://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=22620+0+current/freebsd-questions The Wiki Page https://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS/ZFSBootSlice says "does not boot" but in fact a correct configuration is quite possible. Another Wiki PAGE https://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS/ZFSBootPartition contains the same error: the BSD label which is erroneous. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
