Hello and merry Xmas to everybody, I upgrade a remote server from 8.1-RELEASE to 8.2-RC1. This server have one disk: [root@tignes ~]# gpart show => 63 488397105 ada0 MBR (233G) 63 12583809 1 freebsd (6.0G) 12583872 475813296 2 freebsd [active] (227G) => 0 12583809 ada0s1 BSD (6.0G) 0 8388608 1 freebsd-ufs (4.0G) 8388608 4195201 2 freebsd-swap (2.0G) => 0 475813296 ada0s2 BSD (227G) 0 475813296 1 freebsd-zfs (227G) It boot with zfsboot from ada0s2 containing a zfs pool. After upgrading the zfsboot just to be able to upgrade the pool to v15, the server don't boot anymore. It is a remote server, so I reproduce this config under VirtualBox. The boot freeze after zfsboot displaying "-". I grab a old zfsboot from another server running 8.1-STABLE (r213582) which boot fine. I put the zfsboot from r213582 (zpool v15 aware) on ada0s2 and bingo, the server boot normally. Henri
