If you're using gptzfsboot, I guess you're using zfs? I just fixed a problem with probing disks for zfs volumes a few days ago (r346675). There is even some small chance it fixes this problem, because one of the things I noticed was that in one of the disk structures in loader, the "slice offset" value was sometimes a bit random-looking, like it was being initialized with whatever garbage was laying around in memory. It actually makes some sense that the "garbage" might be different between a firstboot after power-on and a reboot. So all in all, it wouldn't hurt to update both gptzfsboot and loader (gpart bootcode -b and -p) to see if there's a fix lurking in my zfs probe changes. -- Ian _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
