Once 6354489 was fixed, I believe Stephen Hahn got zfs-on-/usr working. That might be painful to upgrade, though. > I've run systems with > /opt as a ZFS filesystem and it works just fine.

I also use zfs for /opt. I have to unmount it before using Live Upgrade, though, because it refuses to leave /opt on a separate filesystem. I suppose it's right, since the package database may refer to files in /opt, but I haven't had any problems.
