    Solved How to fix GEOM error?

I changed to root in a 240gb, home in a 1tb, and I left 1tb for dual booting with OBSD. And the last 1tb I took out of the note and put it in a case for external use. Everything...

    Solved Help needed after zfs features upgrade before bootcode upgrade

    Hi, I'm having an issue with bootcode upgrade after zfs features upgrade. FreeBSD's suggestion is this gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 da0 but this doesn't work because there is no da0. Instead I use ada0, the only SSD fully owned by ZFS. However, the result is an error...
