There is no official support for ZFS root yet.

You mean for the root filesystem? I don't think that's known yet. The announcements about the support of root on ZFS have mentioned that they are not targeting raidz or raidz2 as an initial option. I certainly wouldn't plan any current system with that in mind. -- Darren Dunham [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Technical Consultant TAOS http://www.taos.com/ Got some Dr Pepper?
