Yes, the on-disk format is compatible. You cannot, however, do the reverse. Importing arbitrary Solaris pools (or former Fishworks pools) into the Fishworks environment is not supported. While the on-disk format is the same, the dataset hierarchy is specific to the appliance, and properties much be configured in an implementation-defined way for the software to function correctly. - Eric -- Eric Schrock, Fishworks http://blogs.sun.com/eschrock _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
