I am creating a custom Solaris 11 Express CD used for disaster recovery.
I have included the necessary files on the system to run zfs commands
without error (no apparent missing libraries or drivers). However, when
I create a zvol, the device in /devices and the link to
/dev/zvol/dsk/rpool do not exist. In fact /dev/zvol/dsk is completely
empty. I am trying to determine what creates the devices and the links
in /dev/zvol/dsk. This is a sparc system.
I use this command to create my rpool/swap device:
# zfs create -b 8k -V 512m rpool/swap
I get a zero return code from the command.
# zfs list

crw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 161, 0 Aug 12 19:50 zfs@0:zfs
Any insight as to how these devices and links get created by zfs would
be appreciated. I am pretty sure I must be missing something in the way
of a driver or file, but truss did not point out any glaring problems.
Thanks
David
