Hi!
Just tested the root-on-ZFS install option using FreeBSD 10 beta 1. I
have 4 SATA drives in my server. I select all four of them in a RAIDZ1
setup. I hit enter to continue the installation and the zpool is
created, but I'm then returned to the zpool selection screen again. It
turned out that two of the drives had previously been used in a
(Linux) software mirror setup and because of this they got activated
in /dev/raid/r0. Because of this I ended up in an endless bsdinstall
loop.
Removing the raid device using the graid command resolved the situation.
Now maybe this is working as designed, but there was no warning/alert
to the fact that the devices couldn't be used. Perhaps a warning
should be rasied in this situation?
Thanks for all the great work on the new installer, really looking
forward to FreeBSD 10!
Cheers
Johan

Errors like that normally generate a msgbox dialog with the error output
from whichever command failed. I'll have to dig into it and see where
that problem is. I've seen other people have problems creating ZFS
arrays after graid, but in that case it was an incomplete graid label
causing a device to be locked but not appear in the graid status output.
Ah ok. A msgbox did appear but the drives that had the problem (ada2 and
ada3) wasn't visible in the output. (not sure if the box itself has a
size limit or maybe I was just unable to scroll down and see the
errors?). The only visible output was that it was able to create labels
on ada0 and ada1.
