I agree. We should try to reduce the number of ZFS install howtos and
instead put our efforts into bringing it into the handbook. Maybe some
of these howtos are better serves as articles showing alternative ways
of doing these. I know that filesystem layout can be a very personal
thing for many users who want to lay out things their way and none
other. But we could give new users guiding principles on how to do the
basic setup and then help them make the right decisions for their
environment based on the experience gathered from these wiki pages.

I don't think you could have summed up what I hoped could happen any better!

I do hope that you will also consider keeping the MBR boot code in there. That was I think the most difficult piece of the puzzle. Everything is GPT centric, but I just got a brand new little intel atom device that will not boot off of the default GPT install.

Yes, I had a quick glance at it and I especially liked the first part
using SSH from the beginning.

Thank you. If it was not for ssh and virtual machine snapshots, I think I would have abandoned ZFS until it made it into the handbook or installer.

Thanks,

Cody
