Since this is my home desktop PC mirrored drives are overkill. What I was trying to do was add a second, non-mirrored, disk to my root pool, which I discovered after some research is not an option. > I believe this is also covered in the above documentation.

With the current installer is there a way to create an "extra" slice to reserve some of a drive's space for a non-root pool? The only options I could find were using the whole disk or creating multiple partitions. I couldn't find a way to specify custom slice sizes. As I said in my previous e-mail I tried using a second partition for the non-root pool, but only ended up with a fraction of the space available.
