Yes, I've read through tons of blogs.sun.com/* entries, went through the mailing list looking for the proper way to do it, etc. Unfortunately, zfs send/recv remains a hack that requires an elaborate script wrapper precisely because zfs send/recv is by nature a send-only/recv-only operation (whi

I have one thing happening now at boot which must have happened during the migration to zfs boot. I get an error message about /dev/random: "No randomness provider enabled for /dev/random. Use cryptoadm to provide one." Does anyone know how to fix this? Another thing: Is it possible to upgrade
