I can't speak to whether it's a good idea or not, but I also wanted to do this and it was rather difficult. The problem is the opensolaris installer doesn't let you setup slices on a device to install to.
The two ways I came up with were: 1) using the automated installer to do everything because it has the option to configure slices before installing files. this requires learning a lot about the AI just to configure slices before installing. 2) - install like normal on one drive - setup drive #2 with the partition map that you want to have - zpool replace drive #1 with drive #2 with altered partition map - setup drive #1 with new partition map - zpool attach drive #1 - install grub on both drives Even though approach #2 probably sounds more difficult, I ended up doing it that way and setup a root slice on each, a slog slice on each, and 2 independent swap slices. I would also like to hear if there's any other way to make this easier or any problems with my approach that I might have overlooked. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
