Hi--
I apologize for missing understanding your original issue.
Regardless of the original issues and the fact that current Solaris
releases do not let you set the bootfs property on a pool that has a
disk with an EFI label, the secondary bug here is not being able to
remove a bootfs property on a pool that has a disk with an EFI label.
If this helps with the migration of pools, then we should allow you
to remove the bootfs property.
I will file this bug on your behalf.
In the meantime, I don't see how you can resolve the problem on this
pool.
Thanks,
Cindy

Cindy,
Thanks for your reply. The important details may have been buried in my post, I
will repeat them again to make it more clear:
(1) This was my boot pool in FreeBSD, but I do not think the partitioning
differences are really the issue. I can import the pool to nexenta/opensolaris
just fine.
Furthermore, this is *no longer* being used as a root pool in nexenta. I
purchased an SSD for the purpose of booting nexenta. This pool is used purely
for data storage - no booting.
(2) I had to hack the code because zpool is forbidding me from adding or
replacing devices - please see my logs in the previous post.
zpool thinks this pool is a "boot pool" due to the bootfs flag being set, and
zpool will not let me unset the bootfs property. So I'm stuck in a situation where zpool
thinks my pool is a boot pool because of the bootfs property, and zpool will not let me
unset the bootfs property. Because zpool thinks this pool is the boot pool, it is trying
to forbid me from creating a configuration that isn't compatible with booting.
In this situation, I am unable to add or replace devices without using my
hacked version of zpool.
I was able to hack the code to allow zpool to replace and add devices, but I
was not able to figure out how to set the bootfs property back to the default
value.
Does this help explain my situation better? I think this is a bug, or maybe I'm
missing something totally obvious.
Thanks!
