Thanks, Roland van Laar [1] https://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS/GPTZFSBoot/9.0-RELEASE Looking through the wiki notes I would do a couple of things in a different way. Since you're running 9.1-RELEASE you should take into account the need for the /boot/zfs/zpool.cache file until 9.2-RELEASE exist or you switch to the latest 9-STABLE. Create your zpool using a command like this one: zpool create -o cachefile=/tmp/zpool.cache -m /tmp/zroot zroot /dev/gpt/disk0 Copy the /tmp/zpool.cache file to /tmp/zroot/boot/zfs/zpool.cache, or in your case to /mnt/boot/zfs/zpool.cache after extracting the base and kernel stuff. In the wiki section Finishing touches, perform step 4 before step 3. The final command missing in step 3 should be zfs unmount -a once more. Avoid step 5 at all cost! Maybe this recipe is easier to follow, it sure works for 9.0-RELEASE and 9.1-RELEASE, I only hope you're happy typing long commands, and yes, command line editing is available in the shell: https://ximalas.info/2011/10/17/zfs-root-fs-on-freebsd-9-0/ Thank you for that link. This worked (better). I'm getting into the 'mountroot' shell during the boot. Oh well, I'm getting better at this. The ZFS guides on the wiki leave you with a empty root zfs filesystem after the installation. After I know a bit more about ZFS and why the FreeBSD wiki is wrong on ZFS installation I hope to edit them.

ZFS partitioning
Hello, I'm following the raidz[1] and mirror[2] guides for a ZFS root. For a test installation on a 5 disk Virtualbox environment. I see that all the disks get the same partitions, including swap and boot? Why is that? And do I need those 5 boot and swap partitions?

ruby cpu 100% hang during pkgdb -F
Hello, I updated FreeBSD 8.0 to 8.2 with freebsd-update. Everything went fine till I got to the ports: I used the commands: # portupgrade -f ruby # rm /var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db # portupgrade -f ruby18-bdb portupgrade -f ruby gave problems because of a security issue. So I updated the ports with portsnap extract and update.

qmail authentication problems
Hello, After installing qmail, and being quit happy with it, I wanted to start using authentication; which I can't get to work. Installed mail/qmail-tls in tcp.smtp: 192.168.2.:allow,RELAYCLIENT= :allow For checkpassword I am using /usr/local/bin/checkpassword which works fine (when the correct passwd is used) if I try it at the command line: printf %s\0%s\0%s\0 roland S03p3rS3cre7 Y123456 | /usr/local/bin/checkpassword /usr/bin/id 30 And it prints my user id. When I try to login via netcat: smtptest EOF EHLO AUTH LOGIN cm9sYW5kCg== UzAzcDNyUzNjcmU3Cg== EOF $ nc localhost 25 smtptest 220 yttrium.micite.net ESMTP 250-yttrium.micite.net 250-AUTH LOGIN CRAM-MD5 PLAIN 250-AUTH=LOGIN CRAM-MD5 PLAIN 250-STARTTLS 250-PIPELINING 250 8BITMIME 334 VXNlcm5hbWU6 334 UGFzc3dvcmQ6 535 authorization failed (#5.7.0) The log files are silent.
