'default' references "vfs.zfs.vol.mode": sysctl -d vfs.zfs.vol.mode vfs.zfs.vol.mode: Expose as GEOM providers (1), device files (2) or neither It's probably modified unintentionally on your host. On the other hand I remember someone documented that under unclear circumstances, it needs to be set explicitly to 'geom' even with the sysctl beeing still the default "1" (=geom). -harry
