But the real problem is I think that the pool doesn't get imported automatically. I read that ZFS searches in special directories when it tries to import. So is there a way to set an option which says that it should search in /dev? I always have to do this after reboot: zpool import -d /dev tank Than tank (pool) gets mounted at /tank and the zvol tank/home gets mounted on /home. So I think that the import of the zpool fails. I have set zfs_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf also zfs_load=YES as boot parameter which gets shown in kenv and commented out the fstab entry. So I read that the import normally should work automatically when the module is loaded and zfs is enabled but I think the fact that my pool is located on /dev/xbd2 is the problem. Best Regards
