Re: [zfs-discuss] Re: Re: can I use zfs on just a partition?
Hi, When you do the initial install, how do you do the slicing? Just create like: / 10G swap 2G /altroot 10G /zfs restofdisk yes. Or do you just create the first three slices and leave the rest of the disk untouched? I understand the concept at this point, just trying to explain to a third party exactly what they need to do to prep the system disk for me :) No. You need to be able to tell ZFS what to use. Hence, if your pool is created at the slice level, you need to create a slice for it. So the above is the way to go. And yes, you only should do this on laptos and other machines where you only have 1 disk or are otherwise very disk-limited :).

I'm thinking that if that is the case I'll just be dd'ing to a new disk and continuing on with it. Obviously this is not the preferred solution, but unless they're willing to let me send my own hardware, I don't have much of a choice.

does liveupgrade work fine if the zones are on a UFS partition? This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
