I would like to set up a Raid-Z/ZFS file server for my home use. I

The one problem I have come across is the the UFS system partition.
This is not backed up, therefore if the harddrive it is on fails, I
have no way to get to my zpool! Even if I use one of those zfs-root
hacks, there will still need to be a UFS portion, correct? And I
can't back up the UFS portion to the ZFS portions, because I won't
be able to access the ZFS in the event of a hd failure?
Is there a way for me to make a failsafe for this eventuality?
In Solaris/Solaris Express you can mirror the UFS filesystem using
Solaris Volume Manager.
I don't know if that's available under Nexenta or Belenix.
