      That is a bit unusual, what shows up at the CLI if you run mount?

      What about if you run df -h?

      Also, what is in /etc/fstab?

      And finally: What packages do you have installed?

        @jimp as I say Jim, it was fine under 2.5.1 and only appeared after upgrading to 2.6.0.

        From those commands, it appears to be gui specific

          Curious why it's not showing up right on yours, it works as expected here and shows the full ZFS dataset path:

          My df output looks identical, but my widget has:

            Can you show the output of the following two commands:

            1. /bin/df -Tht ufs,zfs,cd9660

            2. /bin/df -Tht ufs,zfs,cd9660 | /usr/bin/awk '{print $1, $2, $3, $6, $7;}'

                  How about the output of mount?

                  It's quite odd that you're seeing that but one of our devs says we've seen it before.

                    @jimp I have tried turning off tmp to ram and back on, but didn't make any difference

                    mount

                      I was able to reproduce it here easily with a fresh ZFS VM and RAM disks.

                      It looks to be like a problem with df -t <type> unfortunately.

                      The full list is OK:

                      Filtering to just UFS is OK:

                      : df -Tht ufs
                      Filesystem  Type    Size    Used   Avail Capacity  Mounted on

                      Trying to filter just ZFS gets the wrong info about /var:

                      : df -Tht zfs

                      I'll work on a Redmine for it, not sure if it's something we can fix and push upstream or will have to wait for a FreeBSD fix on.
