With "one disk" I basically mean pools consisting of a single toplevel vdev.
The current documentation poses this restriction, either a single disk or a mirror.
The thing I have in mind is the ability to create a single pool of all disks in
a system as top level devices, basically a JBOD or even RAIDZ, while also being
able to boot from it. The mentioned restriction, if it still applies, would
require me to create two pools, one for the bootfs, the other for the data.
This would imply that I'd have to divide one of the disks to be used into two
slices, one used for the bootfs, the other for the data pool, to minimize the
potentially unused diskspace wasted on the bootfs.
For now, that's exactly what you need to do. I know it's not optimal.
We have plans to support booting from configurations other than
simple mirrors, but that won't be supported in the first release.
