After my last message, I ran "pkg install" on the OpenIndiana VM created from the text-mode installer on CentOS 7.9.2009, to get gcc, build-essential, and a few other packages installed. That went as expected.
I then ran # pkg update # pkg upgrade That updated 347 packages and 8074 files, then reported A clone of openindiana exists and has been updated and activated. On the next boot the Boot Environment openindiana-2021:04:22 will be mounted on '/'. Reboot when ready to switch to this updated BE. I typed # reboot and the system came partly up with Loading unix... Loading /platform/i86pc/amd64/boot_archive... ZFS: i/o error - all block copies available ... No rootfs module provided, aborting The VM was allocated an 80GB disk, 2GB DRAM, and 2 CPUs, and the physical CentOS 7.8.2009 host has 1.8TB free space. I powered off the VM, increased the DRAM from 2GB to 8GB, and retried, but behavior is identical. Another attempt with 1 CPU and 32GB DRAM got the same failure. I powered off, rebooted from the ISO image, logged in as root/openindiana, and ran # zpool import # df -h /rpool Filesystem Size Used Available Capacity Mounted on rpool 77.02G 33K 70.01G 1% /rpool # ls /rpool boot # ls /rpool/boot grub menu.lst So, the disk looks like it has almost been wiped clean, which should not be the case after all of the package updating. Things were not this bad with earlier OpenIndiana releases over the last almost 11 years, back to my first VM for this O/S created on 14-Sep-2010 from oi-dev-147-x86.iso. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Nelson H.
