Hi, No news. I received some very good suggestions, but unfortunately I didn't get as much discussion as I had hoped it would. I'm sending the project proposal again. I think that there are a lot of interesting things to research and develop regarding the subject and I hope this time we discuss a

what you`re looking for is called a bind-mount, and that`s a linux kernel feature. i don`t know if solaris has a perfect equivalent for this - maybe lofs is what you need. see man lofs This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ zfs-discuss

What driver are you using? The SATA framework has a bug that prevents ldi_open_by_devid() from working early in boot. ZFS is trying to do the right thing, but has to fall back on the physical device path, which in this case is the wrong value. - Eric On Mon, Oct 08, 2007 at 07:26:39AM +0700,

Is it possible to create a pool called rootpool made up for example of mirror c1t0d0 c2t0d0 then add 4 disks in raidz2 to the same pool and create a /usr filesystem using only the raidz2 portion of the pool? Not usefully. You cannot segregate the location of data or datasets within pools
