Well, I want to give OpenSolaris a try, but have not yet worked up the confidence to just try it. So a few questions:
When I start the OpenSolaris installer, will it install into my existing root zpool? Which is called RPOOL. not rpool? Without destroying my existing Nevada installations? Or killing my existing Grub menu? And will it be intelligent about my existing Live Upgrade BEs? And other existing Shareable ZFS datasets (eg /export and /var/shared) Related to this: Can I have the same directory used for my home directory under both Nevada and OpenSolaris? I am guessing the answer is YMMV depending on the differences in versions of, for example Firefox, Gnome, Thunderbird, etc, and based on how well these cope with settings that was changed by another potentially newer version of itself. -- ZFS snapshots is your friend. ZFS = LiveUpgrade: A match made in heaven. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. Arthur C. Clarke
