Detect a ZFS filesystem by looking for valid uberblocks. This support will appear in an upstream version of e2fsprogs. For the moment however you will still need to locally patch you e2fsprogs packages. This patch applies cleanly to fc11's e2fsprogs-*-1.41.4-10 and should apply easily enough to the e2fsprogs from other distros. --- e2fsprogs.orig/lib/blkid/probe.c 2009-01-20 09:06:31.000000000 -0800 +++ e2fsprogs/lib/blkid/probe.c 2009-10-06 10:16:37.000000000 -0700 @@ -1359,10 +1361,18 @@ { "iso9660", 32, 1, 5, "CD001", probe_iso9660 }, { "iso9660", 32, 9, 5, "CDROM", probe_iso9660 }, { "jfs", 32, 0, 4, "JFS1", probe_jfs }, - { "zfs", 8, 0, 8, "\0\0\x02\xf5\xb0\x07\xb1\x0c", probe_zfs }, - { "zfs", 8, 0, 8, "\x0c\xb1\x07\xb0\xf5\x02\0\0", probe_zfs }, - { "zfs", 264, 0, 8, "\0\0\x02\xf5\xb0\x07\xb1\x0c", probe_zfs }, - { "zfs", 264, 0, 8, "\x0c\xb1\x07\xb0\xf5\x02\0\0", probe_zfs }, + { "zfs", 128, 0, 8, "\0\0\0\0\0\xba\xb1\x0c", probe_zfs }, + { "zfs", 132, 0, 8, "\0\0\0\0\0\xba\xb1\x0c", probe_zfs }, + { "zfs", 136, 0, 8, "\0\0\0\0\0\xba\xb1\x0c", probe_zfs }, + { "zfs", 128, 0, 8, "\x0c\xb1\xba\0\0\0\0\0", probe_zfs }, + { "zfs", 132, 0, 8, "\x0c\xb1\xba\0\0\0\0\0", probe_zfs }, + { "zfs", 136, 0, 8, "\x0c\xb1\xba\0\0\0\0\0", probe_zfs }, + { "zfs", 384, 0, 8, "\0\0\0\0\0\xba\xb1\x0c", probe_zfs }, + { "zfs", 388, 0, 8, "\0\0\0\0\0\xba\xb1\x0c", probe_zfs }, + { "zfs", 392, 0, 8, "\0\0\0\0\0\xba\xb1\x0c", probe_zfs }, + { "zfs", 384, 0, 8, "\x0c\xb1\xba\0\0\0\0\0", probe_zfs }, + { "zfs", 388, 0, 8, "\x0c\xb1\xba\0\0\0\0\0", probe_zfs }, + { "zfs", 392, 0, 8, "\x0c\xb1\xba\0\0\0\0\0", probe_zfs }, { "hfsplus", 1, 0, 2, "BD", probe_hfsplus }, { "hfsplus", 1, 0, 2, "H+", probe_hfsplus }, { "hfsplus", 1, 0, 2, "HX", probe_hfsplus },
