    How to create a zpool.cache from livefs?

    Last two lines in the scripts are needless. I forgot them from old tested version. And one important note: the zfs has to be loaded like as a module. If the zfs is included in kernel, this hack won't work.

    FreeBSD on USB Flash: root remount from RW to RO takes 3 minutes

    Hi, there are two ways: 1, easy - downgrade to 8.2-RELEASE 2, apply this patch - it's for pfsense distro and I have not yet tried it on FreeBSD, but I believe it will work. On the second harder way you will have to change sysctl variable 'vfs.forcesync'. I think.
