ZFS goes beyond this POSIX requirement. When a sync(1M) returns, all
dirty data that has been cached has been committed to disk.

I've only used Lori Alt's patch for b62 boot images via jumpstart
(http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=28725&tstart=15)
which made it an easy process with mirrored boot ZFS drives and no UFS
partitions required. If you have a jumpstart server, I think that is the best
way to go.

I left a comment on Lori's blog to the effect that splitting the

We're also updating the EIS bootdisk standard, and are considering similar
recommendations.
File systems are still not free. They have costs in complexity and
maintenance, especially backup/restore. One of the benefits of a single
namespace is that it is relatively simple to backup and restore

I currently have b60 kinda installed (there, but still having some issues

With reference to Lori's blog posting[1] I'd like to throw out a few of
my thoughts on spliting up the namespace.
This is quite timely because only yesterday when I was updating the ZFS
crypto document I was thinking about this. I knew I needed ephemeral

in the history of ZFS, I thought I'd reflect a bit on what ZFS brought to my
