The reason is that EFI labels are not supported for booting. So from ZFS perspective you put root pool on a slice on SMI labeled disk - the way currently ZFS works it assumes in such a case that there could be other slices used by other programs and because you can enable/disable write cache per disk and not per slice it's just safer to not automatically enable it. If you havoever enable it yourself then it should stay that way (see format -e -> cache) -- Best regards, Robert Milkowski mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://milek.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
