Mike, Grant,

I reported the zoneadm.1m man page problem to the man page group.

I also added some stronger wording to the ZFS Admin Guide and the
ZFS FAQ about not using ZFS for zone root paths for the Solaris 10
release and that upgrading or patching is not supported for either
Solaris 10 or Solaris Express release.

It is true that none of the current install/patch tools recognize
ZFS yet and this has been discussed many times before. You can follow
the ZFS boot/root project here:

http://opensolaris.org/os/community/zfs/boot/

I've tried to add all the things you *can't* do with ZFS in the ZFS
FAQ and the next topic to add is around the inability to split
mirrors.

If you are considering doing something with ZFS where recovering
would be difficut, then please ask here first. :-)
