Thought the same, and gave it a try. zpool claims there is no pool of that name. "zpool -f" doesn't help. Looking at the device nodes, it appears as though OI would only recognize 3 of my 4 HDDs, which seems really strange, given the fact that they're all wired the same way. So I didn't even get to looking at the dir in question. That, combined with the fact that OI boot process provides too little information for my taste, and the additional fact that Backspace doesn't seem to work out of the box, has let me develop a dislike for the system upon initial use. I don't fancy having to configure such basic things. So I'm heading towards Linux now, as no solution to the FreeBSD ZFS problems seems to be forthcoming. Will probably be running some tandem of btrfs and Ext4 for now, until btrfs becomes more mature or space requirements force me to drop one of those file systems. Thanks for your input, David, Martin --------------enig244740ACA3DFA4BA456E7A71 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.18 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk641lkACgkQRhp6o4m9dFvYzwCePJ2IccNNk2MmfaigN9dcbM9H TqEAnj+2hmXAVYo8Wwh7d69zAvmP/+7L =eVzm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig244740ACA3DFA4BA456E7A71--
