I'm sure its not blessed, but another process to maximize the zfs space
on a system with few disks is
1) boot from SXCR http://www.opensolaris.org/os/downloads/on/
2) select "min install" with
512M /
512M swap
rest /export/home
use format to copy the partition table from disk0 to disk1
umount
Hi Ian,
I might misunderstand your plan. I assumed you'll throw in a small boot
drive as the zfs root pool.
ZFS root pool can be a mirrored pool, so you don't need to use SVM mirror.

I'm building a new file server at the moment and I'd like to make sure I
can migrate to ZFS boot when it arrives.
My current plan is to create a pool on 4 500GB drives and throw in a
small boot drive.
Will I be able to drop the boot drive and move /
Yes, the initial release of bootable zfs has restriction on the root
pool: i.e.
no concatenation or RAIDZ, only single deviced pool or a mirrored
configuration.
This is mainly due to limitations on how many disks the firmware can
access at boot time.

Thanks for the heads up

The latest on when the update zfsboot support will
go into Nevada is either build 61 or 62. We are
making some final fixes and getting tests run. We
are aiming for 61, but we might just miss it. In
that case, we should be putting back into 62.
