I've downloaded the 2008.05 release of Open Solaris and am planning to install it on a spare machine and use it as a NAS for my local network with all the data I care about stored on a ZFS RAIDZ pool. I used to use Solaris a few years ago but I've never set up ZFS before.
As I understand it booting from ZFS and using ZFS for the root filesystem is not currently supported out of the box at the moment so I'll need to use the standard filesystem for that. Since the root filesystem won't be using RAIDZ I'm wondering what would happen if that disk failed. I'm not worried so much about the data since I could just reinstall Solaris, what concerns me is whether I'd lose any of the ZFS configuration data and whether I should take any steps to backup the machines ZFS configuration. In other words, if I have one disk with the root filesystem on and 3 disks set up as RAIDZ where does ZFS store the information about what disks are using ZFS and how they are configured? thanks!
