Hi
I have a problem running full ZFS on freebsd-8.1 amd64
my hardware is an IBM x3200m3 with ServeRAID M5015 controller (with 4x2TB IBM drives in RAID5 array but I don't think that matters).
I tried several times setting up ZFS boot (according to the documentation and different guides around the net - or using mfsBSD zfsinstall script). If I use UFS2 there is no problem. But with the ZFS boot - it looks like the raid isn't bootable. there is no error message or anything, the boot process(of the server) just skips the booting from the controller and goes to network boot. I can't really figure out where the problem is. I know I can use UFS2 boot and the rest for ZFS but I'd rather avoid this. Any idea would be helpfull. thanks
