The exact error message I get is: linker_load_file: Unsupported file type kldload: can't load zfs.ko: Exec format error. I would appreciate any additional guidance. In the meantime, Randal Schwartz was kind of enough to suggest PC-BSD, which includes an installer that supports ZFS, so I will check them out. --Gil Vidals On Mon, Sep 6, 2010 at 9:50 PM, Adam Vande More <amvandemore@gmail.com>wrote: > On Mon, Sep 6, 2010 at 9:55 PM, Gil Vidals <gvidals@gmail.com> wrote: > >> Whenever If I used the standard install (UFS file system), I would always >> get an "unsupported file system" error whenever I tried to kldload zfs.ko. >> > > That doesn't seem like a logical error, the only occurrence of the > "unsupported file system" text in the src tree is in > /usr/src/sbin/ggate/shared/ggate.c.
