I don't know what this is: zfsinstall.sh It's not part of the base system. Without more info, my best guess is that your zfs module is out of sync with your kernel. Two things you can do, install a clean FreeBSD, and just use zfs from there. It works. Or resync the kernel/modules by rebuilding them. Make sure your src tree is in sync, eg csup with RELENG_8_1 or whatever you're trying to run Follow these instructions: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/kernelconfig-building.html Just rebuild with GENERIC to make sure no other vars are interfering. That means don't use the KERNCONF=MYKERNEL part of the line or at least set it to GENERIC. Once you have installed the new kernel, reboot and kldload zfs should work. -- Adam Vande More _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
