After a liveupgrade and luactivate I can login to the -new- BE.
My question is: do I have to luactive the -old- BE again if I want to

VMWare can give VMs direct access to the actual disks. This should
avoid the overhead of using virtual disks.

zfs send is great for moving a filesystem with lots of tiny files,
since it just handles the blocks :)
I'd like to see:

Brandon makes a good point. I think that's an option to pursue if you
don't want to risk messing up your Windows install.
If you can, dedicate entire disks, rather that partitions, to ZFS.
It's easier to manage. ZFS is managed by the VMs processor in this
case, so you will take a bigger performa

I have a pool with around 5300 file systems called home. I can do:
