I have a 9.1 system with some SATA disks in RAIDZ, upgraded from 9.0.
The disks are all the same type, and I formatted them for FreeBSD and
put ZFS in a slice covering most of them.
I have seen suggestions for OpenIndiana etc that it is better to let ZFS
have the whole raw disk and that this can control the way it manages the
disk writeback mode.
My home computer is set up in the dedicated mode. No grave difference.
Not even a scratch.
Does this apply to FreeBSD and ZFS too?
No.
Presumably the disks are currently FreeBSD-specific. If I used raw
disks instead of slices, could I read them from a Solaris system too?
I'm mostly sure you would be able to read disks from Solaris/x86.
However Solaris/Sparc uses another labeling scheme. If you want to be
fully compatible with other system GPT is a better choice.
