[zfs-discuss] CF to SATA adapters for boot device

2008-08-19 Thread Ian Collins

Hi Ivan, If you are asking how you can make a ZFS root file system on a Solaris 10 system, then you'll need to wait a bit until that release is available. This features is currently provided in the SXCE, build 90 release, which provides similar support. You can read more about this support here:

You may also need to just boot to safe mode and manually import the root pool to mount on /a, then reboot as this updates the device path stored in the pool's on-disk meta-data. If you search for my posts you will find plenty discussions about my adventures with this. On Tue, Aug 19, 2008 at 7:54
