Yes, i have tried. I did get a flurry of information, but nothing related to the kernel not being able to mount the root fs. In the meanwhile, i have redone the installation and for some reason it is working now. Probably the pool cache was missing.. :-) Now i have another problem: The root fs on on a 4-disk zfs mirror. I am testing under VMware fusion using virtual scsi disks. In order to test redundancy, i removed the first disk and booting failed. The loader reports: error 1 lba 32 error 1 lba 1 error 1 lba 32 error 1 lba 1 error 1 lba 32 error 1 lba 1 error 1 lba 32 error 1 lba 1 No ZFS pools located, can't boot If i remove any other of the 3 disks instead, booting works fine. Is the pool's configuration only stored on the first disk? Do i have to replicate it to the other disks by hand? -Heinrich _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
