I don't understand why you can't use 'zpool status'? That will show
the pools and the physical devices in each and is also a pretty basic
command. Examples are given in the sysadmin docs and manpages for ZFS
on the opensolaris ZFS community page.
I realize it's not quite the same command as in UFS, and it's easier
when things remain the same, but it's a different filesystem so you need
some different commands that make more sense for how it's structured.
The idea being hopefully that soon zpool and zfs commands will become
just as 'intuitive' for people :)
I agree. Whats more with UFS it is very often UFS+SVM so what you see
in df is SVM metadevices not real disks either. In the UFS+SVM case you
need to use metastat(1M) and work your way through that output to find
the actual physical disk.
IMO the whole point of ZFS was abstracting this physical disk thing away
from you when you don't need to use it, and df output IMO is one place
it really doesn't belong.
