ZFS On Mac OSX creates zfs v6 pools by default (in order to retain compat with the stock read-only zfs v6 module in 10.5) which work fine with FreeBSD. Just don't upgrade the pool on OS-X after creating it. Dmitry Morozovsky wrote: On Fri, 13 Jun 2008, Kris Kennaway wrote: KK It is planned

Hello everyone, I know -stable is supposed to be, well, stable, but I seem to be in a bit of a pickle. I'm trying to import my zfs file system from a Macintosh machine. It was created at version 8. Being new to zfs, I did not realise that FreeBSD would be running at a lower version; I thought

So either I want to downgrade the zpool, or upgrade zfs on FreeBSD. Does anyone know if I'll be able to import zfs v8, or am I wasting my time? I'd prefer to follow -stable, but if I must follow -current, then golly goshkins, I'll have no choice! I don't know what the current migration

There's nothing you can do right now except for wait. By default the zfs implementation on osx will create a zfs version 6 zpool (to retain compat with the read-only kext that ships with 10.5) but once you've upgraded you can't go back. There is a newer version of zfs for freebsd but it
