Hi, is anyone else having problems booting from exported zpools when using gptzfsboot? I have a script creating a GPT partition on a single fresh disk setting up zfs booting etc. http://anonsvn.h3q.com/projects/freebsd-patches/browser/manageBE/create-zfsboot-gpt.sh?format=txt If I export the zpool after the script is done with the setup and try to boot the disk, zfsboot tells me "No ZFS pools located, can't boot". If I just plug out the disk, e.g. USB, or shutdown the system without exporting the zpool on the new disk first, it finds the zpool and boots. My guess is a bug in sys/boot/i386/zfsboot/zfsboot.c somewhere in probe_drive(), not sure if its in the GPT part or somewhere else. greetings, philipp
