I remembered there were ZFS snapshosts taken earlier, so it was (at least theoretically) possible to revert to some ZFS snapshot manually and I lived with last builds of Solaris only shortly so I missed this change. Previously only "core bits" were installed to new BE, no backup BE were created. The reality is that I am flooded with several new BEs per day. My grub list is increasing frequently. OK, I have to live with it :-) Best regards, Milan _______________________________________________ oi-dev mailing list [email protected] http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/oi-dev
