have all the space you might need pre-allocated and you won't force the system
to hunt for more at the point where it is already under load.

It looks as if 9.0_RC1 sysinst works as advertised for generating an install

bootblocks from the command-line - one can stuff keys into the VM to drive
sysinst but this is a nightmare to debug ... is doing a manual from-scratch

tside of the usual 'mount -a' scope ... yes, one can flag
particular filesystems as 'mountpoint=legacy' which means they get
mounted from /etc/fstab, but that's ... hacky (and ZFS needs to be

So far I've added a trap to the shell script on exit to run 'reset'
after the pgsql command exits, however as noted above, although my
