Losing ZFS would indeed be disastrous, as it would
leave Solaris with
only the Veritas File System (VxFS) as a semi-modern
filesystem, and a
non-native FS at that (i.e. VxFS is a 3rd-party
for-pay FS, which
severely inhibits its uptake). UFS is just way to old
to be competitive

Hi all,
I currently have four drives in my OpenSolaris box. The drives are split into
two mirrors, one mirror containing my rpool (disks 1 2) and one containing
other data (disks 2 3).
I'm running out of space on my data mirror and am thinking of upgrading it to
two 2TB disks. I then

1GB isn't enough for a real system. 2GB is a bare minimum. If you're
going to use dedup, plan on a *lot* more. I think 4 or 8 GB are good
for a typical desktop or home NAS setup. With FreeBSD you may be able
to get away with less. (Probably, in fact.)

You'll have better performance, and good resilience against errors. And
you can grow later as you need to by just adding additional drive pairs.

Lori,
Thanks for the reply.
By floating I mean we have a set of scripts that will shut down a zone,
export all the ZFS pools attached to that zone, modify the zone config to not
have those datasets associated anymore, then, on another system, import the ZFS
pools, modify the new zone's config
