For a laptop scenario, where you don't have any option to add a 2nd drive,
I agree with Darren and others. But in any other usage scenario, I don't
think its a good idea. Perhaps you could post some details about your
hardware environment and why its limited to a single disk drive?
You understand that if ZFS detects any data corruption and you don't have
any designed-in data redundancy, ZFS will make the pool unavailable and
you are SOL.
