A slightly different tack now...
what filesystems is it a good (or bad) idea to put on ZFS?
root - NO (not yet anyway)
home - YES (although the huge number of mounts still scares me a bit)
Why ? I've seen Solaris systems with upwards of 10,000 mounts in /home
via the automounter alone.
/usr - possible?
/var - possible?
swap - no?
You can swap on a zvol today but note that you can't yet use a zvol as a
dump device.
Is there any advantage in having multiple zpools over just having one
and allocating all filesystems out of it?
Obviously if you wanted (for example) /export/home to be raidz and /usr
to be mirror you would have to, but are there other considerations
beyond that?
Having a separate pool for the operating system and one for your data
might be a good idea. This allows you to move the data else where later
much easier.
