--- Comment #4 from Matthias Pfaller <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Andriy Gapon from comment #3) >> But it might be nicer to skip pools without bootfs (imho). > I think that that would not be unreasonable. > But it certainly requires a wider discussion first, because there could be > people who depend on the current behaviour in one way or another, Maybe one should fall back to the old behaviour when no pool is marked with bootfs. >> The other thing I don't like, is that gptzfsboot doesn't seem to be able to >> boot from a pool when there is only the zil on the boot device.

Could you please provide some more details? All five disks (and the embedded micro-sdcard) are visible to the bios. zfsloader will list them as c:, d:, e:, f:, g: and h:. But when gptzfsboot decides to boot from ada0:data (instead of ada0:root) it will complain about "all block copies unavailable". Typing "status" at the gptzfsboot prompt will crash... Please note that I had to patch zfsloader as described in https://wiki.freebsd.org/HPBIOS3TBHDD. Maybe gptzfsboot needs the patch as well? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
