[zfs-discuss] Why does disable loading of zfs module in boot causes problems

2006-12-26 Thread David Shwatrz
Hello, I tried to disable loading of the zfs module by adding "exclude zfs" in /etc/system. I rebooted and got into "maintainance mode" with many services disbaled (as svcs -xv shows). I don't have any zfs partitons on this machine. So my question is: for what is the zfs module in booting of

This is because the ZFS module is required for the filesyste/local service to come up. In particular, it checks for '/sbin/zfs' and does a 'zfs mount -a'. If you don't wish to have ZFS on the system, then you should ununistall the SUNWzfs* packages. Manually excluding the kernel module only via
