Way to drag my post into the mud there. Ever try adding a swapfile onto the same disk where there's already a swap partition? At least in my experience this led really poor performance. Can we just move on? This message posted from opensolaris.org __

Uwe, Please see pages 55-80 of the ZFS Admin Guide, here: http://opensolaris.org/os/community/zfs/docs/ Basically, the process is to upgrade from nv81 to nv90 by using the standard upgrade feature. Then, use lucreate to migrate your UFS root file system to a ZFS file system, like this: 1. Verif

format -e is your window to cache settings. As for the auto-enabling, I'm not sure, as IIRC, we do different things based on disk technology. eg: IDE + SATA - Always enabled SCSI - Disabled by default, unless you give ZFS the whole disk. I think. On a couple of my systems, this seems to r
