One must remember, however, that Solaris 10 06/06 won't have root ZFS support - IIRC, SUN is aiming for the 12/06 - 01/07 release of Solaris 10 for root ZFS. Just as a side issue, seems rather late in the product cycle to be including ZFS given that once 01/07 is released, its only a matter of a year that Solaris 11 is released.
