[zfs-discuss] In-place upgrades of Solaris Express on ZFS root (updated)

2007-12-06 Thread Albert Lee

[zfs-discuss] Successful SXCE upgrade from DVD media on ZFS root

Hi, I converted my laptop to use ZFS root, loosely following the instructions: http://opensolaris.org/os/community/zfs/boot/zfsboot-manual/ In my case I added seperate filesystems under rootfs for /usr, /var, /opt, and /export, which slightly complicates things (they have to be added to vfstab
