I had the same thing happen to me twice on my x86 box. I installed ZFS (RaidZ) on my enclosure with four drives and upon reboot the bios hangs upon detection of the newly EFI'd drives. I've already RMA'd 4 drives to seagate and the new batch was frozen as well. I was suspecting my enclosure,

This is a problem since how can anyone use ZFS on a PC??? My motherboard is a newly minted AM2 w/ all the latest firmware. I disabled boot detection on the sata channels and it still refuses to b oot. I had to purchase an external SATA enclosure to fix the drives. This seems to me to be a

Hi Betsy, Yes, part of this is a documentation problem. I recently documented the find -inum scenario in the community version of the admin guide. Please see page 156, (well, for next time) here: http://opensolaris.org/os/community/zfs/docs/ We're working on the larger issue as well. Cindy
