Hi All, 1) I followed this wiki link to setup our server [sigyn.apache.org] (Dell r710 with 4 disks mfid[0123] as raidz2) http://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS/GPTZFSBoot/RAIDZ2
Rebooted all was well. 2) off on another 'build' box [loki.apache.org], I had compiled release/8.0.0 userland+kernel [with LOADER_ZFS_SUPPORT=yes]. Whats the ETA for MFC from trunk->stable/8 for http://svn.freebsd.org/viewvc/base?view=revision&revision=199714 ** FWIW, loki is working nicely on 8.0-RELEASE geom+zfs. 3) I nfs mounted /usr/src, and /usr/obj on sigyn from loki. $ cd /usr/src $ sudo make installkernel KERNCONF=SIGYN It fails to mount from zfs:zroot upon reboot. Via great hoops and magic I got back into the fixit on remote console. I didn't see a loader.old or a zfsboot. So I repeated the steps in wiki to install zfsboot. Rebooted, same diff. Jumped backed to fixit and reverted the kernel to a stock GENERIC that worked the 1st time. Same error again. cd /boot $ mv kernel kernel.cust $ mv kernel.old kernel So assuming you are lucky enough to get a zfsroot system. Is there an actual upgrade path ? Am I missing something stupid ? Any help greatly appreciated. I have a few days to play with this machine before we forgoe zfsroot and drop back to geom gmirror. I'm at a datacenter for $work on Monday/Tuesday so I'll be spare over tonight. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1024D/DB9B8C1C B90B FBC3 A3A1 C71A 8E70 3F8C 75B8 8FFB DB9B 8C1C Philip M.
