Thanks! I was a bit unsure what's the best approach with an unofficial port. I'll do one more clean install, either as above or with the keyring package manual download option Adrian Davey mentioned. >> Also, what repos should be used for ZFS packages? > > You will need to build zfs-linux from source yourself as the package is part > of > contrib only and therefore not available in debian-ports by default [1].

Again, really nice that these builds are available. If things seem stable I will reinstall two additional squeeze (sparc) hosts as sparc64. And naturally enable popcon to support the effort towards an official port status. Cheers, Jukka
