[zfs-discuss] xVM GRUB entry incorrect with ZFS root

2008-08-28 Thread Trevor Watson
I just ran live-upgrade of my system from nv94/UFS to nv96/ZFS on x86. nv96/ZFS boots okay. However, I can't boot the Solaris xVM partition as the GRUB entry does not contain the necessary magic to tell grub to use ZFS instead of UFS. Looking at the GRUB menu, it appears as though the flags "-

I have had the same problem too, but managed to work around it by setting the mountpoint to none before performing the ZFS send. But that only works on file-systems you can quiesce. How about making a clone of your snapshot, then set the mounpoint of the clone to none, take a snapshot of the u

I don't suppose that it has anything to do with the flag being "wm" instead of "wu" on your second drive does it? Maybe if the driver thinks slice 2 is writeable, it treats it as a valid slice? Trev Ian Collins wrote: Ian Collins wrote: Trevor Watson wrote: Ian,

Ian, It looks like the error message is wrong - slice 7 overlaps slice 4 - note that slice 4 ends at c6404, but slice 7 starts at c6394. Slice 6 is also completely contained within slice 4's range of cylinders, but that won't matter unless you attempt to use it. Trev Ian Collins wrote:

Hi Constantin, I had the same problem, and the solution was to make sure that the filesystem is not mounted on the destination system when you perform the zfs recv (zfs set mountpoint=none santiago/home). Trev Constantin Gonzalez wrote: Hi, I'm currently migrating a filesystem from one poo

[zfs-discuss] Peculiar behaviour of snapshot after zfs receive

I am seeing what I think is very peculiar behaviour of ZFS after sending a full stream to a remote host - the upshot being that I can't send an incremental stream afterwards. What I did was this: host1 is Solaris 10 Update 2 SPARC host2 is Solaris 10 Update 2 x86 host1 # zfs snapshot work/[E
