It seems your original question hasn't been answered yet... :-) I have used U4 with the complete /var on zfs for quite a while and have not encountered any problems. My usual setup for mirrored root disks is: what where how / /dev/md/dsk/d0 ufs swap /dev/md/dsk/d1 swap ROOT cXt0d0s3 + cXt1d0s3 zpool The ROOT pool contains /var, /opt, and /export. I set both quota and reservation for /var to be on the safe side. I have not done any stress testing with zones, but normal use is absolutely trouble-free.
