The other solution that I've tried is to use soft partitions, which seem to work well. However, with 1.0.3, I've noticed that ZFS seems faster than SVM. Not sure if that's just me or not.

When you do that, you are actually exporting the label of the entire disk (which is at the beginning of the slices). To solve that problem, you have to change the partitioning of disks 2 and 3 so that the slices you use to build the SVM volume do not start at cylinder 0 but at cylinder 1. alex.
