I've discovered the source of the problem. zpool create -f -o failmode=continue -R /a -m legacy -o cachefile=/etc/zfs/zpool.cache rpool c1t0d0
It seems a root pool must only be created on a slice. Therefore zpool create -f -o failmode=continue -R /a -m legacy -o cachefile=/etc/zfs/zpool.cache rpool c1t0d0s0 will work. I've been reading through some of the ZFS root installation stuff and can't find a note that explicitly states this although a bit of bing'ing and I found a thread that confirmed this. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
