No that doesn't appear like an EFI label. So it appears that ZFS

Then the command to set the bootfs property is failing due to that.

To restate the problem the BE can't be activated because we can't set
the bootfs property of the root pool and even the ZFS command to set
it fails with "property 'bootfs' not supported on EFI labeled devices"

for example the following command:
# zfs set bootfs=rpool/ROOT/opensolaris rpool

fails with that same error message.

I guess you mean zpool, but yes:

Yes that's what I meant (I hate when my fingers betray me like that) ;-)


# zpool set bootfs=rpool/ROOT/opensolaris-138 rpool
cannot set property for 'rpool': property 'bootfs' not supported on EFI labeled 
devices


Do you have any of the older BEs like build 134 that you can boot back
to and see if those will allow you to set the bootfs property on the
root pool? It's just really strange that out of nowhere it started
thinking that the device is EFI labeled.

I have a couple of BEs I could boot to:

I will try on 132 or 133.  Get back to you later.

Thanks!
