I agree that copying from var to separate ZFS filesystem after install can be awkward. The previously mentioned bug 3296 may be of interest, as well as 9608 and this thread: http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=123212 I realize these don't really help *right now* but it's all I've got. - Keith
