Hello,
During my tests (succesful) to directly boot from ZFS (with zfsboot
and gptzfsboot) I encounter the error "can't boot 'kernel'" if too
many devices/pools are connected to the machine. In my case:
2 SAS disks with 2 pools
2 SATA disks with 2 pools
1 USB key with one pool
`heap` command:
Active Allocations: 171/173
536576 bytes reserved 527800 bytes allocated
`ls` command:
open '/' failed: too many open files
If I reboot without the USB key all is OK.
If I reboot from the USB key after disconnecting 2 disks all is OK.
By the way, the /boot/loader in 7.2-STABLE don't work, complains about
forth not found.
The previous tests were made with 7.2-STABLE (May 31) with
/boot/loader from 8.0-CURRENT.
I recently increased the number of file descriptors available for
/boot/loader. Could you rebuild and try again please. Make sure you
rebuild libstand.a as well as /boot/loader.
OK - I can boot with the USB key and 4 disks
Thanks
Henri
