[OmniOS-discuss] OmniOSce installer rpool slicing

[Schweiss, Chip]

In the previous Solaris style installer we had the option of only using a
portion of the disk that the rpool went on.   This was very good for SSDs
that perform better and last longer if they have some additional slack
space that never has data written to it.

Is there a way to achieve this with the new installer?

Yes.  Just drop to the shell from the installation menu and create your
rpool using fdisk, format, and zpool create.  Exit the shell and select
"use existing pool".

I've been overprovisioning my SSDs using either MFG supplied tools in the
case of Samsung or Intel units and raw SATA commands on old Vertex drives.
The OS sees a smaller volume and the drive knows that 'slack' space is
truly slack.
