True. Thinking about where to end up - I will be staying on opensolaris
despite having no truecrypt. My paranoia likes having encryption, but it's
not really necessary for me, and it looks like encryption will be coming to
zfs itself soon enough. So, no need to consider getting things working on
zfs-fuse again.

I should have a partition table, for one thing, I suppose. The partition
table is EFI GUID Partition Table, looking at the relevant documentation.
So, I'll need to somehow shift my zfs data down by 17408 bytes (34 512-byte
LBA's, the size of the GPT's stuff at the beginning of the disk) - perhaps
just by copying from the truecrypt volumes as I did before, but with offset
of 17408 bytes. Then I should be able to use format to make the correct
partition information, and use the s0 partition for each drive as seems to
be the standard way of doing things. Or maybe I can format (write the GPT)
first, then get linux to recognize the GPT, and copy from truecrypt into the
partition.

Does that sound correct / sensible? Am I missing or mistaking anything?

Thanks,
-Ethan

PS: scrub in progress for 4h4m, 65.43% done, 2h9m to go - no errors yet.
Looking good.
