Hi, However, this raises another concert that during recent discussions regarding to disk layout of a zfs system (http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=25679&tstart=0) it was said that currently we'd better give zfs the whole device (rather than slices) and keep swap off zfs devices for better performance. If the above recommendation still holds, we still have to have a swap device out there othere than devices managed by zfs. is this limited by the design or implementation of zfs?
