dd command: BSD analog of conv=fsync?

2012-11-18 Thread Thomas Mueller
What is the (Free)BSD counterpart of conv=fsync in dd command? Command in question is dd if=GNOME-3.6.0.iso of=/dev/DRIVE bs=8M conv=fsync This is for writing to a USB stick, and of course DRIVE is replaced by the actual device node; also I believe bs=8M, good for Linux, would be bs=8m in FreeBS

Why do we need vfs.root.mountfrom for zfs

2012-11-18 Thread Aldis Berjoza
I was wondering why oh, why do we need to set vfs.root.mountfrom in /boot/loader.conf in order to boot from zfs. zpools have bootfs option. This info is redundant. I think one of two could be totally avoided at least in case when we boot form gptzfsboot. What I'm missing? -- Aldis Berjoza Free
