I don't see the problem. Install the OS onto a mirrored partition, and configure all the remaining storage however you like - raid or mirror or whatever. My personal preference, assuming 4 disks, since the OS is mostly reads and only a little bit of writes, is to create a 4-way mirrored 100G partition for the OS, and the remaining 900G of each disk (or whatever) becomes either a stripe of mirrors or raidz, as appropriate in your case, for the storagepool. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
