Do you have a USB port available to boot from? A conventional USB

Does this work reliably for you? I tried doing the remounting trick,
both for root and /usr, back in the 4.x time frame. And could never

This reminds me. I was reading the release and upgrade notes of OpenSolaris
2009.6 and noted one thing about upgrading from a previous version to the
new one::
When you pick the upgrade OS option in the OpenSolaris installer, it will
check if you are using a ZFS root partition and if you do, it

I have a proof of concept system doing this. I started with a 7.2
install on zfs root, compiled world and kernel from 8, took a snapshot
and made a clone for the 7.2 install, and proceeded to upgrade the
current fs to 8.0. After updating the loader.conf in the 7.2 zfs to

I am not entirely sure if this question belongs here or to another

Anyways, I am trying to figure out the best way to configure a NAS
system I will soon get my hands on, it's a Tranquil BBS2 (
I built a system recently with 5 drives and ZFS. I'm not booting off
a ZFS root, though it does mount a ZFS file system once the system has
booted from a UFS file system. Rather than dedicate drives, I simply
partitioned each of the drives into a 1G partition, and another
spanning the
Is the idea behind leaving 1GB unused on each disk to work around the
problem of potentially being unable to replace a failed device in a
ZFS pool because a 1TB replacement you bought actually has a lower
sector count than your previous 1TB drive (since the replacement
device has to be either of
The system that I built had 5 x 72GB SCA SCSI drives. Just to keep my
own sanity, I decided that I'd configure the fdisk partitioning
identically
across all of the drives. So that they all have a 1GB slice and and a
71GB
slice.
The drives all have identical capacity, so the second 71GB
