For the mount, don't use fstab. use: zfs set mountpoint=/home poolname/path/to/dataset And for the import, add zfs_enable="YES" to rc.conf. And I think that's it. (all my FreeBSD systems are pure zfs, so not sure what troubles you would get if you had UFS on root) On 2013-03-01 12:26, tech mailinglists wrote: > Hello all, > > I think that I only can be an idiot to get in such a problem but I am > not able to mount a zpool via fstab while boot. > > I have a FreeBSD i386 PV Xen DomU running with 3 disks xbd0 (ext2 for > /boot), xbd1 (UFS for /) and xbd2 (ZFS/zpool with name home to mount > at /home). > > I now tried everything I could find.
