  • FreeBSD GPT ZFS raidz* on

    From Gabucino@VERT/VIRLVIRT to ryanrfrederick on Thu Oct 23 01:41:00 2014
    Greets ryanrfrederick ,

    I'm wondering if anyone's been able to reliably boot a zfs on gpt
    raidz* array on VirtualBox lately. I was able to up until a couple
    days ago when I updated to the latest version (4.0.8). Now I'm
    receiving the dreaded "all block copies are unavailable" error.
    There seem to be well known problems with gpt & zfs on VirtualBox.
    Just wondering if anyone's come up with a reliable workaround.

    That usually happens when the bootloader (and the BIOS) does not see every member of the RAID-Z set. Check the bootloader messages (disk0, disk1, ...)
