Absolutely, yes. I found this out because, for some reason that I don't know, libvirtd wants a unique identifier. It defaults to looking at the UUID from the BIOS. Unfortunately, SuperMicro boards have non-unique UUIDs. Getting back to ZFS and /etc/hostid... I would think that a randomly-generated /etc/hostid is probably sufficient. Whether that's done in the libc, spl, or zfs package makes no difference to me. -- Richard
