I don't know much about JET, but a jumpstart install of a system with a zfs root will do the necessary disk formatting. The profile keywords that describe the disk layout work more or less the same for zfs as they do for ufs, subject to the ways that zfs is different from ufs (you don't need a separate swap/dump slice, for example). "any" will format the drive for you, just like for ufs.

With JET, you can specify a ZFS install by selecting the disk slice to install the rpool onto (or "any" to let the install choose a disk). But this appears to assume that the disk is already formatted. Or does it? It looks like if you specify "any" that it may or may not format the drive for you.

With UFS-based installs, jumpstart will format the disk per the jumpstart profile. of course. It's not clear how to dive this with JET.



Any experiences?



Thanks,
