Hi guys,
Long time reader and first time poster here. Yesterday reinstalled my box with FreeBSD8.0, I had a ZFS on the old FreeBSD7 and I needed to recreate that (wanted to make it GPT with labels) so I backed up my data to other drives, that were sliced and partitioned the old fasion way via sysinstall. The FreeBSD8 install was made this way -> http://m8d.de/news/freebsd-on-gpt.php, since sysinstall refused to slice and partition the system disk with some weird errors ( never had problems with 6.4 when I done it).
The FBSD got installed and all is fine, but now that I recreated the ZFS I plugged the disks with my data, freebsd picks them up but in /dev/ I noticed that the disk appeared as /dev/ad6p1.../dev/ad6p2 and not the old fasion way /dev/ad6s1c or something. Trying to mount the /dev/ad6p1, fails with "invalid arguments" after the mount command. So not knowing what was going on I booted a older version of PC-BSD ( didn't have freebsd near me ) and the disks showed the proper way and mounted fine, the data was there and all was fine.
So my question is what do I have to do in order to mount the drives in freebsd 8, I noticed that in dmesg of the PC-BSD there were some messages GEOM_LABEL and etc, that were missing from the FreeBSD 8. I tried to
So any help will be thankful to get my data back on my raidz. Thanks in advance.
