To be honest, I don't think it's that much of a risk:
We get regular power cuts at home (probably 8-10 a year), and I've got a
solaris box that was originally snv_70, and is now snv_98 that's survived over
half a dozen without any issues at all. It wasn't ZFS boot originally, but has
been upgr

yeah, that is my opinion: when the procedure is done, using ZFS
without a backup is risking the data more than using UFS or ext3
without a backup. Is that a clear statement

Besides some possible loss of performance, splitting drives tends to
blow natural redundancy models where you want as little coupling a

I was testing with the rpool, but "zpool import -f" when booting for the
CD did the trick. Thanks for the hint.

Well yes, but he doesn't sound too worried about performance, and I'm not aware
of any other issues with splitting drives?
And if you did want performance later, it would probably be possible to add a
flash drive for cache once the prices drop.

I don't know much about working with slices in Solaris I'm afraid, but to me
that sounds like a pretty good setup for a home server, and I can't see why the
layout would cause you any problems.
In theory you'll be able to swap controllers without any problems too. That's
one of the real benefi
Hi,
I have a small Linux server PC at home (Intel Core2 Q9300, 4 GB RAM),
and I'm seriously considering switching to OpenSolaris (Indiana,
2008.11) in the near future, mainly because of ZFS. The idea is to run
