I wouldn't dispute anything Jeff has posted. It's entirely possible that UFS might be depreciated sometime in the future for boot or general file system usage.
However, based on some reading that I've been doing, I don't believe the boot_archive environment will be ZFS based anytime in the near future. boot_archive can be either UFS or ISOFS, and I don't think that's going to change for a while. Since all GRUB does is load multiboot and the boot_archive into memory, ZFS support will not be needed in GRUB. -Craig Cyril Plisko wrote: > On 12/24/05, Craig Steinberger <Craig.Steinberger at sun.com> wrote: > >>I don't believe it's true that ZFS will be the only boot option in the >>Solaris 11 timeframe.
