Forgive me if I do not understand your question. Do you have a "non-OS" slice (e.g. "/data" or "/export/home") on a system disk, and you want to convert that slice into a ZFS pool? Or do you already have a ZFS pool, and want to create a ZFS volume within that pool, and then want to put a file system on that volume? Of course it depends on the usage pattern of the data, but I don't think you'd notice any performance difference either way -- unless you do things like streaming writes approaching the disk bandwidth, etc. Regards -- Volker -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Volker A.
