If the problem is on zfs code in grub/grub2, then it should be zfs issue, right? Anyway, for comparison purposes, with ubuntu + grub2 + zfsonlinux (which can force ashift at pool creation time) + zfs root, grub2 won't even install on pools with ashift=12, while it works just fine with ashift=9. There were also booting problems if you've scrubbed rpool. Does zfs code for grub/grub2 also depend on Oracle releasing updates, or is it simply a matter of no one with enough skill have looked into it yet? -- Fajar _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
