Re: gpt type for zfs?
Can’t you make a pool based on the various do devices? That's what I do. Sevan Janiyan schrieb am Sa. 28.

"zpool import" didn't find anything to import?? I currently use a gpt presented disk between NetBSD and FreeBSD without any particular problems. -- Brad Spencer - b...@anduin.eldar.org - KC8VKS - http://anduin.eldar.org

I actually partition things up in sysinst as fat32 partitions. Regarding GPT, I connected up a pool which I created on MacOS some years back to my laptop running 9.99.52, turns out I'd used a GPT scheme, I couldn't actually import the pool because dk(4) hogs the device. (I meant to try disabling dk support and retrying but haven't gotten around to it yet). Sevan

I have also put pools on raw devices and DOMU xbd* back stored by a LVM lvs. A lot of different combinations seem to work fine. -- Brad Spencer - b...@anduin.eldar.org - KC8VKS - http://anduin.eldar.org
gpt type for zfs?
Hi! I just noticed that the gpt man page has a type fbsd-zfs, but none for NetBSD ZFS or any other type. Are ZFS users on NetBSD using fbsd-zfs or avoiding gpt? :) Is there something we should do in gpt or the man page? Thomas
