Hello,
I'm running a FreeBSD machine with its root on an geli-based zfs filesystem.
So far everything worked, however after upgrading to 10.0 (via
Of course I have the zfs_load="YES" set in my loader.conf, as well as vfs.root.mountfrom="tank/root", and since I stumbled upon this: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/free ... 75504.html, I also added zpool_cache_load="YES", zpool_cache_type="/boot/zfs/zpool.cache" and zpool_cache_name="/boot/zfs/zpool.cache"
However this doesn't seem to work, and the machine still doesn't boot, after I enter the passwords for the geli - volumes, it hangs with "error 2", even if I load the ZFS-module by hand directly from the loader (with
Does anyone has an idea what changed between 9.2 and 10.0 that could cause this? Why does it seem that my kernel/the bootloader doesn't know zfs, even though I can see them load the module? How do I rescue that system?
Ah, when I boot via a USB-stick, I can mout the zpool, withou any problem, actually.

So far everything worked, however after upgrading to 10.0 (via
