Ok, sorry I'm not up to speed on Solaris/software raid types. So you're saying create a couple slices on each disk. One set of slices I'll use to make a raid of some sort (maybe 10) and use UFS on that (for the initial install - can this be done on installation??), and then use the rest of the slices on the disks to do the zfs/raid for everything else? > > Now I would consider creating raid-10, and not raid-z, something like: > > zpool create local mirror s1 s2 mirror s3 s4 mirror s5 s6 mirror s7 s8 > > Than I would probably create local/zones/db and put zone here, then > create additional needed filesystem in that one pool. > > btw. in such a config write cache would be off by default - I'm not > sure it will be a problem or not. Ok. I'll keep that in mind. I'm just making sure this is feasible. The technical details I can work out later.
