That's all right (kind of), there is a bug in the metacity build of
snv111.

You should quote '*.java' in the find command. If you don't then,
when you'll have a file foo.java with java extension in current folder
then:
find . -name *.java
will get expanded by shell to:

This answer isn't much better, but it really depends on what is your

Isn't it easier and faster with ext3/ntfs drivers from FSWpart /
FSWfsmisc and get all the data this way?
Anyway, from what I see, zfs-fuse 0.5.0 (which is releasead a year ago?
they're not too keen on releases) supports v13 of zpool, yet default
opensolaris pools are v14 already (and, IIRC v16 w

Oh, sorry, prtpart appears to be a part of FSWpart package (it's a

distribution.

I'd guess gentoo has too old and incomplete support for zfs: solaris

No, not really. It's just the server background of solaris that shines
through and, as a result, current users of opensolaris seem to be more

ZFS is telling you that you need a rpool/ROOT/S10be filesystem created
