I have seen some pretty weird issues and have work in process to have a bit more fool proof approach, but I haven't had time yet to finalize it properly. Yep, UFS+GPT works fine here. Just for archieves: errors for ZFS + GPT --- gptzfsboot: error 128 lba 3907027040 gptzfsboot: error 128 lba 1 gptzfsboot: no zfs pools located, can't boot --- The disk is: --- 512 # sectorsize 2000397852160 # mediasize in bytes (1.8T) 3907027055 # mediasize in sectors 0 # stripesize 0 # stripeoffset 3876018 # Cylinders according to firmware. 16 # Heads according to firmware. 63 # Sectors according to firmware. WD-WMAUR0112162 # Disk ident. Not_Zoned # Zone Mode --- UEFI is not available at the motherboard. > Namely, what I have found is that in some systems the INT13 ah=08 can result with unexpected results - error from command reported or disk count not reported etc - something not really expected. It also may have to do about what other devices are there. And also if the system has plain BIOS or BIOS emulated on UEFI. -- WBR, bsam
