https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=221075 Bug ID: 221075 Summary: regression: 11.1 unable to boot off ZFS Product: Base System Version: 11.1-RELEASE Hardware: amd64 OS: Any Status: New Keywords: regression Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: kern Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: seschwar@gmail.com Keywords: regression I tried to upgrade my installation of 11.0p11 to 11.1 applying the outlined procedures. However that resulted in an unbootable system. I originally thought I had botched the upgrade (https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2017-July/278163.html), but as I can't get 11.1 to boot even when doing a fresh install, I believe it to be an actual regression and not just an error on my end. To check that hypothesis I first performed my install procedure with 11.0-RELEASE into a new dataset, which I could boot off just fine: # zfs create -o canmount=noauto -o mountpoint=/ ssd/ROOT/freebsd11.0R # beadm mount freebsd11.0R # fetch -o - https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/releases/amd64/11.0-RELEASE/base.txz | tar xf - -C /mnt/ # fetch -o - https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/releases/amd64/11.0-RELEASE/kernel.txz | tar xf - -C /mnt/ # fetch -o - https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/releases/amd64/11.0-RELEASE/lib32.txz | tar xf - -C /mnt/ # cp /boot/loader.conf /mnt/boot/loader.conf # cp /etc/hostid /mnt/etc/hostid # beadm umount freebsd11.0R # beadm activate freebsd11.0R # reboot ... FreeBSD/amd64 () (ttyv1) login: I did exactly the same steps with 11.1-RELEASE instead of 11.0-RELEASE and the system was unable to mount the root partition during boot: # zfs create -o canmount=noauto -o mountpoint=/ ssd/ROOT/freebsd11.1R # beadm mount freebsd11.1R # fetch -o - https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/releases/amd64/11.1-RELEASE/base.txz | tar xf - -C /mnt/ # fetch -o - https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/releases/amd64/11.1-RELEASE/kernel.txz | tar xf - -C /mnt/ # fetch -o - https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/releases/amd64/11.1-RELEASE/lib32.txz | tar xf - -C /mnt/ # cp /boot/loader.conf /mnt/boot/loader.conf # cp /etc/hostid /mnt/etc/hostid # beadm umount freebsd11.1R # beadm activate freebsd11.1R # reboot ... Mounting from zfs:ssd/ROOT/freebsd11.1R failed with error 6. When I press "?" at the following "mountroot>" prompt to list available devices all devices part of my ZFS pools are listed with the correct paths. Re-entering "zfs:ssd/ROOT/freebsd11.1R" or any of my other FreeBSD boot environments results in said error 6 again. So the only difference between the two boot environments created above it the version of FreeBSD used. Therefore I assume 11.1-RELEASE to be at fault. Some additional information on my setup: - the hardware is a Dell Precision M4600 with the optical drive swapped out for an SSD - the system is booted with EFI - the drives are partitioned with GPT - the two ZFS pools where originally created on Arch Linux - from the FreeBSD installer I originally successfully installed 11.0-RELEASE into a separate dataset - 11.0 has been working fine like this since December 2016 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
