If it said the pool was of another system or not exported or something like that, try adding readonly to option: zpool import -o readonly=on altroot=/mnt rpool In any circumstances don't do any zpool upgrade. On Sat, 23 Jan 2021 08:29:21 +0700 Hung Nguyen Gia via openindiana-di

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Illumos UFS vs FreeBSD UFS?

2021-01-22 Thread Hung Nguyen Gia via openindiana-discuss
Are they compatible? Could I use UFS for data exchange purpose? UFS is available on all BSDs, including one doesn't support ZFS. So it's a better portable FS than ZFS. But I'm a bit pessimistic, because each BSD's UFS is different to the other. e.g: FreeBSD's UFS2 doesn't mountable under Dragon
