After having set my desktop to install (to a pair of 140G SATA disks that zfs is mirroring) at work, I was trying to skip the dump slice since in this case, no, I don't really want it. ;)
pfinstall refuses to install without a dump slice, so I went ahead and set the last 500MB of the disks to be s1 and pointed dump at the one disk. I really don't want it this way, I want to let ZFS have the entire disks. Can I go into format, delete s1 and redo s0 to extend to the end of the disk and just expect ZFS to do the right thing and be able to use the whole disk, or would I bet better off detaching the on disk from the mirror, blowing away the partition table and re-attaching it as a whole disk and then repeating the process with the other disk? -brian -- "Perl can be fast and elegant as much as J2EE can be fast and elegant.
