Re: Fwd: Bug#693510: installation report



Hello Steven,

The first time no.

But, it is possible (zfs to be automatically imported).
After that I did a ZFS installation and this time it worked supporting
your theory.

Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not with UFS - I did not figure
out the logic.

Regards,
Anton
