Re: Zfs on NetBSD

[Ron Georgia <netverbs%gmail.com@localhost>]

Yes, I do have /dev/zfs.
$ ll /dev/zfs
crw-------  1 root  wheel  190, 0 Jul 21 15:23 /dev/zfs

I did find the zfs.mod, but get this error when trying to load it.
$ sudo modload /stand/amd64/8.1/modules/zfs/zfs.kmod
modload: /stand/amd64/8.1/modules/zfs/zfs.kmod: Program version wrong

Which makes sense since I am booting kernel 8.99.51 NetBSD 8.99.51 (GENERIC)
I did pull down the sets for NetBSD 8.99.51 (GENERIC) and unpacked base.tar.xz and modules.tar.xz. Then I copied the contents of stand to /stand/amd64/8.99.51. (Should I remove /stand/amd64/8.1?)

I did modload zfs and rebooted, but got the errors listed below.
$ sudo modload zfs


$ dmesg | grep zfs

I still get the same error message:
$ zfs
internal error: failed to initialize ZFS library

    While "zfs status" is wrong as there is no command "status"
    the ZFS module should be loaded automatically and you should
    get a usage from running this command.
    
    You have "/dev/zfs"?
    
    What happens on "modload zfs"?
