Re: ZVOL/ZFS hosting UFS filesystems ... ERROR!

I realize I'm picking up an old thread, but I was having the same
problem.  Quick recap:

Create a UFS filesystem on a ZVOL, drop an entry in /etc/fstab, and fail
to mount the UFS/ZVOL filesystem at boot even if you add 'late' to the
options in /etc/fstab.

For me the trouble was /etc/rc.d/fsck. fsck runs before zfs and
mountlate, fails to find the UFS/ZVOL filesystem, and aborts the boot
process.

You can work around this by setting pass# to 0 in /etc/fstab.  The
trouble with this approach is that since this is a UFS filesystem, ZVOL
or not, I'd still like to fsck it.
