I've been interested in using a gptzfsboot setup on a few of my systems, and thought I'd try it out in a VM first, but I'm blocked at creating a zpool. Here's what I did: - create a new VM with 2 drives (da0 & da1) - install 8.0R amd64 - install subversion from sysinstall & checkout base/head - build & install -current Instead of creating a gptzfsboot install disc, I thought I'd just create the zpool on the second drive, install things to there, and then make the VM boot off the second drive afterwards (and remove the first). I was following the http://blogs.freebsdish.org/lulf/2008/12/16/setting-up-a-zfs-only-system/ guide, and got to this stage: # gpart create -s GPT da1 # gpart add -b 34 -s 128 -t freebsd-boot da1 # gpart add -b 162 -s 5242880 -t freebsd-swap da1 # gpart add -b 5243042 -s 57671485 -t freebsd-zfs da1 # gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 da1 # gpart show da1 => 34 62914493 da1 GPT (30G) 34 128 1 freebsd-boot (64K) 162 5242880 2 freebsd-swap (2.5G) 5243042 57671485 3 freebsd-zfs (27G) # zpool create data /dev/da1p3 cannot create 'data': permission denied Dec 6 13:30:23 freebase root: ZFS: vdev failure, zpool=data type=vdev.open_failed I believe that this is a zpool related issue because the following then works: # newfs /dev/da1p3 /dev/da1p3: 28159.9MB (57671484 sectors) block size 16384, fragment size 2048 using 154 cylinder groups of 183.72MB, 11758 blks, 23552 inodes. super-block backups (for fsck -b #) at: 160, 376416, 752672, 1128928, 1505184, 1881440, 2257696, 2633952, 3010208, 3386464, 3762720, 4138976, 4515232, 4891488, 5267744, 5644000, 6020256, 6396512, 6772768, 7149024, 7525280, 7901536, 8277792, 8654048, 9030304, 9406560, 9782816, 10159072, 10535328, 10911584, 11287840, 11664096, 12040352, 12416608, 12792864, 13169120, 13545376, 13921632, 14297888, 14674144, 15050400, 15426656, 15802912, 16179168, 16555424, 16931680, 17307936, 17684192, 18060448, 18436704, 18812960, 19189216, 19565472, 19941728, 20317984, 20694240, 21070496, 21446752, 21823008, 22199264, 22575520, 22951776, 23328032, 23704288, 24080544, 24456800, 24833056, 25209312, 25585568, 25961824, 26338080, 26714336, 27090592, 27466848, 27843104, 28219360, 28595616, 28971872, 29348128, 29724384, 30100640, 30476896, 30853152, 31229408, 31605664, 31981920, 32358176, 32734432, 33110688, 33486944, 33863200, 34239456, 34615712, 34991968, 35368224, 35744480, 36120736, 36496992, 36873248, 37249504, 37625760, 38002016, 38378272, 38754528, 39130784, 39507040, 39883296, 40259552, 40635808, 41012064, 41388320, 41764576, 42140832, 42517088, 42893344, 43269600, 43645856, 44022112, 44398368, 44774624, 45150880, 45527136, 45903392, 46279648, 46655904, 47032160, 47408416, 47784672, 48160928, 48537184, 48913440, 49289696, 49665952, 50042208, 50418464, 50794720, 51170976, 51547232, 51923488, 52299744, 52676000, 53052256, 53428512, 53804768, 54181024, 54557280, 54933536, 55309792, 55686048, 56062304, 56438560, 56814816, 57191072, 57567328 # mkdir /test # mount /dev/da1p3 /test # df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/da0s1a 496M 259M 197M 57% / devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /dev /dev/da0s1e 496M 5.1M 451M 1% /tmp /dev/da0s1f 8.8G 3.1G 4.9G 39% /usr /dev/da0s1d 1.9G 1.0M 1.8G 0% /var /dev/da1p3 27G 4.0K 24G 0% /test Any help would be appreciated.
