Using build 70, I followed the zfsboot instructions at http:// www.opensolaris.org/os/community/zfs/boot/zfsboot-manual/ to the letter. I tried first with a mirror zfsroot, when I try to boot to zfsboot the screen is flooded with "init(1M) exited on fatal signal 9" Than I tried with a simple zfs pool (not mirrored) and it just reboots right away. If I try to setup grub manually, it has no problem in both cases finding the root_archive, etc...: grub...

...ts_happily_rumbling Ref: http://mediacast.sun.com/share/timf/zfs-actual-root-install.sh This is my errata for Tim Foster''s zfs root install script: 1/ Correct mode for /tmp should be 1777. 2/ The zfs boot install should allow you to have /usr on a separate zpool: a/ We need to create /zfsroot/usr/lib in the root partition and copy /usr/lib/libdiskmgt.so* to it. b/ During boot up, solaris will mount an optimized libc on top of /lib/libc.so.1, and Tim''s script fails to copy it correctly. Init will be killed in a loop if the C library is absent. In the part of the scrip...

I understand that currently, at least under Solaris 10u6, it is not possible to jumpstart a new system with a zfs root using a flash archive as a source. Can anyone comment as to whether this restriction will pass in the near term, or if this is a while out (6+ months) before this will be possible? Thanks, Jerry

...time. > > Lori I don''t understand why support for mountroot was dropped in build 62; it was working fine for my raidz2 root pool, I just had to bootstrap it from a small UFS filesystem on a USB flash disk. Now I have tried to upgrade to build 70 and I get an error saying that zfsroot in /etc/system is not supported anymore. This machine has 4 disks and no space for more disk... and I don''t feel like repartitioning to accommodate a mirror for /root. Lori, what do you suggest I should do? I could just keep all of root minus /usr, /var, etc.. on the usb thumb drive?...

Hi Folks, I''m in the very unsettling position of fearing that I''ve lost all of my data via a zfs send/receive operation, despite ZFS''s legendary integrity. The error that I''m getting on restore is: receiving full stream of faith/home at 09-08-08 into Z/faith/home at 09-08-08 cannot receive: invalid stream (checksum mismatch) Background: I was running snv_91,

Hello, I have not had much time to research this problem yet, so please let me know what further information I might be able to provide. This weekend I attempted to upgrade a computer from 8.2-RELEASE-p3 to 8.4 using freebsd-update. After I rebooted to test the new kernel, I got a panic. I had to take a picture of the screen. Here's a condensed version: panic: page fault cpuid = 1 KDB:
