BTW. Can you, Cindy, or someone else reveal why one cannot boot from RAIDZ on Solaris? Is this because Solaris is using GRUB and RAIDZ code would have to be licensed under GPL as the rest of the boot code? I'm asking, because I see no technical problems with this functionality. Booting off of RAIDZ (even RAIDZ3) and also from multi-top-level-vdev pools works just fine on FreeBSD for a long time now. Not being forced to have dedicated pool just for the root if you happen to have more than two disks in you box is very convenient. -- Pawel Jakub Dawidek http://www.wheelsystems.com FreeBSD committer http://www.FreeBSD.org Am I Evil?
