Hi,I have been having trouble setting up boot from ZFS on OSX catalina(2018 13" macbook pro). Initially did a fresh install of the latest catalina from recovery to a USB drive. Booted from there and installed https://openzfsonosx.org/w/images/6/6f/ ... _1.9.4.dmg for Catalina.
I then followed the ZFS on Boot directions from https://openzfsonosx.org/wiki/ZFS_on_Boot#Booting_ZFS copy/paste word-forword multiple times to rsync and install my working boot of catalina from USB to internal SSD(/dev/disk0). Full disclosure, the one deviation was that I created rpool/ROOT/Catalina with casesensitivity=sensitive, as I have always run OSX on case sensitive ufs, hfs and apfs volumes. However I got codesigning validation errors when booting and the system trying to use mount_zfs. I read forum posts that this was solved sometime back during the 1.9.2 release. hmm.
After doing some digging through the forums I found that OpenZFSonOsX-2.0.0-Catalina-10.15.pkg had actually been release despite not being found on the main download page. So I gave this a try as well, about 4 times, going though the previous wiki document ZFS_on_Boot. Here the results were different. Codesigning was working but the system was unable to mount the root volume. It tries over and over again, finally showing the 'prohibitory symbol'.
The relevent error messages from boot I can see are:
rootvnode is not set something about spa_async_request repeated over and over. No luck finding much nfo on these. Booting in debug ends up doing a full multipage dump over evrything after awhile but I am unsure how to pause the scrolling to make more sense of it or capture it somehow.
Could anyone provide any insight into what I am doing wrong or how to further troubleshoot the issue? Thanks!
