Sounds very good to me :)

I'm new to the group, but I'm an old Sun hand and would like to
suggest the following:
"The OpenSolaris OS will install only onto ZFS, not UFS. The single
ZFS pool installed
will initially consist of the entire Solaris fdisk partition of the
disk identified
at installation. The user can optionally add additional disks to
this pool for
mirroring purposes following installation."
How's that?

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?

Perhaps some re-wording is in order on that page, but
ZFS is in no way
crippled in Indiana. Nor are UFS and other file
systems missing, which
one might infer from the first sentence of the
quote...
This makes MUCH more sense. The documentation should be updated.
It should be clear that the installer requires installation to a
single pool on a single disk although additional drives/pools may
be configured following installation. As written it currently
implies that only a single drive is supported by the OS. Limiting
the operating system and ZFS to only a single drive seemed quite
arbitrary and would seemingly defeat the purpose of a file system
like ZFS.
Thanks!
Richard
