I'm pretty sure that's exactly what I forgot. I remember checking the grub stage* binaries for the 'lz4' string to confirm there was *probably* support, but I didn't think to run installgrub. Oops.
Anyway, I was able to use the 'bloody' release of OmniOS to import the pool, reinstall grub, and get my system bootable again. Thanks for the help and ideas. --jason On Friday, July 26, 2013 at 10:29 AM, Jim Klimov wrote: > On 2013-07-26 17:17, Jason Lawrence wrote: > > The warning on http://wiki.illumos.org/display/illumos/LZ4+Compression > > implies the pool must be imported in order to update grub properly.
