Yes, I do have /dev/zfs. $ ll /dev/zfs crw------- 1 root wheel 190, 0 Jul 21 15:23 /dev/zfs
I did find the zfs.mod, but get this error when trying to load it. $ sudo modload /stand/amd64/8.1/modules/zfs/zfs.kmod modload: /stand/amd64/8.1/modules/zfs/zfs.kmod: Program version wrong Which makes sense since I am booting kernel 8.99.51 NetBSD 8.99.51 (GENERIC) I did pull down the sets for NetBSD 8.99.51 (GENERIC) and unpacked base.tar.xz and modules.tar.xz. Then I copied the contents of stand to /stand/amd64/8.99.51. (Should I remove /stand/amd64/8.1?) I did modload zfs and rebooted, but got the errors listed below. $ sudo modload zfs $ dmesg | grep zfs [ 64.6900799] warning: /usr/src/sys/external/bsd/drm2/dist/drm/i915/intel_pm.c:3616: WARN_ON(!wm_changed)warning: /usr/src/sys/external/bsd/drm2/dist/drm/i915/intel_pm.c:3616: WARN_ON(!wm_changed)warning: /usr/src/sys/external/bsd/drm2/dist/drm/i915/intel_pm.c:3616: WARN_ON(!wm_changed)warning: /usr/src/sys/external/bsd/drm2/dist/drm/i915/intel_pm.c:3616: WARN_ON(!wm_changed)kobj_load, 190: [./zfs]: linker error: not an ELF object [ 11951.1654531] WARNING: module error: module `zfs' built for `801000000', system `899005100' [ 12310.9533135] WARNING: module error: module `zfs' built for `801000000', system `899005100' [ 12509.3029082] WARNING: module error: recursive load failed for `zfs' (`solaris' required), error 2 [ 30.9168505] WARNING: module error: incompatible module class for `zfs' (3 != 2) [ 30.9769426] WARNING: module error: incompatible module class for `zfs' (3 != 2) I still get the same error message: $ zfs internal error: failed to initialize ZFS library On 7/27/19, 4:02 AM, "J.

I see /sbin/zfs; however, when I issue a zfs command I get the following error. I can’t find much info on setting up ZFS on NetBSD.

You have "/dev/zfs"? What happens on "modload zfs"? -- J. Hannken-Illjes - hann...@eis.cs.tu-bs.de - TU Braunschweig
