Hi all,

What should I do if I want to preserve my home when I install indiana?
The old installer for Nevada support preserve and is there any plan to
implement this in the installer for  indiana?

If not, assume I have a hard drive and installed indiana 2008.05 using
the whole space. Now I want to re-install my box but do not want to lose
my home. Can I create a new ZFS fs in the existing pool, copy my home to
the new fs ,do the re-install and, after the installation, copy my home
back(or do something smarter)? 

This method would have problem if we have only one pool and we have to
destory it. I am not very sure. Someone told me so. And I do not know
how many pools will be created by the installer for the indiana and if
the installer will destroy them in a fresh install. 

Regards,

jedy
