However I only want the following :
(1) Take three disks and make a ZFS filesystem
(2) set the compression option on.
(2) Share it out via NFS
Thats it. That is all.
The last time I tried this (two weeks ago, ~snv_34, only one disk
in the zpool), ZFS on the NFS4 server

Why?
SVM has really come a long way. It's integrated into Solaris by default and
very reliable.

Mirroring boot/OS disks is still a huge pain, unless

Huh?
I can set up mirroring within 45 seconds, blindfolded with both hands tied
behind my back:

You can get away without the dumpadm. Once you change swap in the vfstab

You still need a UFS slice somewhere to hold the boot
archive. But it does work; my 2 x 2 GHz amd box
boots
w/ zfs root.
Once grub groks zfs, the need for the slice will go
away.
You mean you have a UFS
I guess that Sun should address this - it should be clearly stated in
a FAQ (for developers) what to do in such cases (not just - consult
your lawyer). Is it permitted or not? What about GPL, BSD, ...?
I think it's totally reasonable to put out some guidelines about issues related
to GPL

This complicates the issues of separating out the
