[wellylug] Debian, WattOS, BSD, ZFS .. & boot probs.

[Adam Bogacki]

Hi, I have a dual-boot system running an xubuntu pkg on WattOS ubuntu 
(zeno), and sid/squeeze debian (Tui).

For some time I used Tui as my main working system and zeno as a backup.

One day 'apt-cache search' threw up package 'kfreebsd-source-7.0', 
described as
"code for the FreeBSD 7.0 kernel with debian patches". I assumed this meant
it was debian-friendly, and apt-installed it.

The next reboot, however, hung at the stage when a circular cursor 
appeared on
a black screen. The cursor was moveable and consisted of a turning disk, 
but the
boot process never went further.

I booted into zeno (/dev/sa1) and mounted the file system (/dev/sdb1) 
and the
home directory (/dev/sdb9) of Tui, including them in zeno's /etc/fstab 
for future use.

I have been able to copy docs I am working on .. and have come to 
appreciate WattOS's
power saving features and crisp performance on a P4 with 2Gb RAM.

But I have not been able to boot into Tui.

Realising that BSD uses ZFS, I unmounted /dev/sdb1 and ran

sudo e2fsck -c /dev/sdb1

getting

adam at zeno:~$ sudo e2fsck -c /dev/sdb1
e2fsck 1.41.9 (22-Aug-2009)
Checking for bad blocks (read-only test): 
done

/dev/sdb1: 11143/86344 files (7.7% non-contiguous), 239977/345364 blocks

.. and the same on /dev/sdb9.

My question is, have I borked the file structure on Tui ? Or is there a 
trivial fix ?
