You've got to point pkg to pkg.opensolaris.org/dev and then choose one of the development builds. If you run a `pkg image-update` right away, the latest bits you'll get are from build 134 which people have reported works OK. If you want to try something in between b111 and b134, see the following instructions: http://blogs.sun.com/observatory/entry/updating_to_a_specific_build -- Giovanni Tirloni gtirl...@sysdroid.com _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
