Hi all. I've been running the ZFS boot netinstall setup on SXCE's snv_69 and snv_70 very happily. I'm anticipating the release of xVM with build 75, and wondering if the same ZFS install procedure is likely to work, or if I'll be left waiting further for more changes. I understand that this

If it's just for recovery purposes, try 'zpool import -f -R /mnt pool'. Because there isn't a 1:1 correspondence between filesystems and pools, it isn't possible to just mount a filesystem without importing the pool. And every ZFS filesystem must be part of a pool, so I'm not sure what you mean

I don't think that SATA controller is supported by the SATA framework (you may want to ask storage-discuss), so it's operating in legacy (PATA) mode. Legacy mode doesn't support hotplug. The FMA code should eventually diagnose this drive as faulty, and there is a fix in the works to sidestep

No boot problems. The zfs filesystems are in the same pool. What would be nice is something like zfs set mountorder=1 local/apps zfs set mountorder=2 local/apps-bin or something along that line. So one zfs filesystem can be reliably mounted to a point inside another zfs filesystem. This
