Are you sure about this? OS2008-05 uses the whole disk as a ZFS and within that rpool creates the seperate filesystems (swap/dump,..) I've never seen a ZFS system on seperate slices.

ALL parts are created within the one rpool. -- Dick Hoogendijk -- PGP/GnuPG key: 01D2433D + http://nagual.nl/ | SunOS sxce snv101 ++ + All that's really worth doing is what we do for others (Lewis Carrol) _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
