Thanks Mark, for verifying syntax. Seems like that was my problem. Now onto attempting to import a zpool from the device. ZFS is not happy about doing so, weird.
My real goal is to try to build a virtual machine with VirtualBox, and deploy and start it as an xVM Domain. Should this be possible? And then, really what I want to do is copy the vdi or vmdk image to an iSCSI LUN. I'm guessing a simple dd would not work. --joe Mark Johnson wrote: > > > Joseph Mocker wrote: >> Hello, >> >> I can't get this to work.
