I am creating a custom Solaris 11 Express CD used for disaster recovery. I have included the necessary files on the system to run zfs commands without error (no apparent missing libraries or drivers). However, when I create a zvol, the device in /devices and the link to /dev/zvol/dsk/rpool do not exist. In fact /dev/zvol/dsk is completely empty. I am trying to determine what creates the devices and the links in /dev/zvol/dsk. This is a sparc system. I use this command to create my rpool/swap device: # zfs create -b 8k -V 512m rpool/swap I get a zero return code from the command. # zfs list NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT rpool 1.34G 3.55G 31K /rpool rpool/ROOT 63K 3.55G 32K /rpool/ROOT rpool/ROOT/solaris 31K 3.55G 31K /rpool/ROOT/solaris rpool/dump 16K 3.55G 16K - rpool/export 841M 3.55G 32K /rpool/export rpool/export/home 1.03M 4.37G 32K /rpool/export/home rpool/swap 528M 4.07G 16K - # ls -l /dev/zvol/dsk total 0 # ls -l /devices/pseudo | grep zfs drwxr-xr-x 2 root sys 0 Aug 15 23:16 zfs at 0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 161, 0 Aug 12 19:50 zfs at 0:zfs Any insight as to how these devices and links get created by zfs would be appreciated. I am pretty sure I must be missing something in the way of a driver or file, but truss did not point out any glaring problems. Thanks David
