Bug#823983: kfreebsd-10.3: hangs at boot mounting root ZFS pool
Package: src:kfreebsd-10
Version: 10.3~svn297264-1~debug1
Severity: important
Tags: experimental
I have a few systems running this kernel, amd64 arch, having a ZFS
root filesystem. Most are working fine, but one in particular
hangs at boot, right after kernel message "Mounting root/root..." or
similar.
The boot partition is plain UFS. GRUB doesn't need to access the
ZFS pool during boot, although it is able to. d-i can mount the pool
and that way I was able to revert back to 10.1 kernel, which is fine.
The pool is comprised of only one device, which is an msdos primary
partition. System has only 1GiB RAM which may be relevant, though
with 10.1 it had been stable for months.
