There is no 'boot zfs raid'.  There is boot ZFS (ZFS can be configured as any RAID type and be booted.  Linux cannot due this as licensing of the CDDL blocks it from having anything but the loader to install it as a module.  FreeBSD has no such restriction. As long as the gptzfsboot blocks are installed, the loader will recognize it and load the Solaris and zfs modules.  From there, it's a straight boot operation like any other file system. My home server uses ZFS as a root partition.  The root partition is on RAID-1 aka mirrored volumes and has no issue booting from both/either. And yes, I answered your question and it's in the Handbook, the Wiki, etc. > > And if your up for it > How to install Grub2 with WIN7 and ZFS RAID FreeBSD > unanswered since 2013. > This is already done with grub2 and is widely available with both TrueOS and FreeBSD.  It's in the manual, the wiki, and several articles for a couple of years now. Personally, I will be taking the same action as others and putting you in my filter list.  You have nothing of interest here.  I applaud the community for not banishing you as of yet as you are a troll, arrogant and dismissive of your betters.  I would also suggest you get psychiatric/psychological counseling for your behavior.  You seem to be a disturbed individual who enjoys creating drama where none exists. Off to spamassassin and other filters. Again, moderator of freebsd-questions, does anyone else have to listen to this prattling?
