Greetings!
I have a FreeBSD 9 system with 3 different ZFS pools on it. I am
booting from a ro CF Card w/o any major issues, the problem I am
encountering is that zroot needs to be mounted at boot first, because
it contains /usr, zhome and tank contain other various sub-partitions
of /usr.
Also, zroot causes me a lot of problems when I try to do "zpool
import", when zpool gets to probing zroot, I get g_vfs errors printed
to the console and the hacnine hangs till I reset it (which is
obviously not acceptable behavior.) I was able to get around this when
booting to my cf card by making / ro, which was my intention all along
for that media.) I suspect this happens because there is a on that
volume that is trying to replace something on / on either the USB boot
img or on my CF card and this might be causing either to freak out.
So I dunno what to do to get this working the way it should and some
guidence would be greatly appreciated!
Sounds like something I came across and haven't gathered more details to
submit a pr yet.
I think there is a problem when two zpools have the same mountpoint -
either / or legacy or one of each that prevents startup. Also zfs
filesystems with matching mountpoints appear to mount together and cause
issues, not sure if this extends to existing ufs mount points.
Check the mountpoint settings on each filesystem 'zfs get mountpoint'
will list them all.
