All, I can rewrite the existing sentence in the "Limitations for the OpenSolaris 2008.05 release" section of the Getting Started:
Existing text: "The OpenSolaris OS has ZFS support only. The installation of the OpenSolaris OS supports only one pool on one disk." Revised text: "The OpenSolaris OS has ZFS support only. The installation of the OpenSolaris OS supports only one pool on one disk. However, the user can manually add additional disks and set up mirroring following installation." Any further comments?
