Actually, you do want /usr and much of /var on the root pool, they
are integral parts of the svc:/filesystem/local needed to bring up
your system to a useable state (regardless of whether the other
pools are working or not).
Ok. I have my feelings on that topic but they may not be as relevant

Hello Bob! Thanks for the reply. I was thinking about going with
a 3 way
mirror and a hot spare.
Keep in mind that you can have problems in Sol10u8 if you use
a mirror+spare config for the root pool. Should be fixed in u9.
But I don't think I can upgrade to
larger drives
unless I do it

Well ...
Slice all 4 drives into 13G and 60G.
Use a mirror of 13G for the rpool.
Use 4x 60G in some way (raidz, or stripe of mirrors) for tank
Use a mirror of 13G appended to tank

Hi Dave,
Consider the easiest configuration first and it will probably save
you time and money in the long run, like this:
73g x 73g mirror (one large s0 on each disk) - rpool
73g x 73g mirror (use whole disks) - data pool
Then, get yourself two replacement disks, a good backup strategy,
and

No way that I know of, to install Solaris
Hello!
I don't see the problem. Install the OS onto a mirrored partition, and
configure all the remaining storage however you like - raid or mirror or
watever.

Hello Jim! I understood ZFS doesn't like slices but from your reply maybe I
should reconsider. I have a few older servers with 4 bays x 73G. If I make a
root mirror pool and swap on the other 2 as you suggest, then I would have
about 63G x 4 left over. If so then I am back to wondering what to do
Hello Marty!
With four drives you could also make a RAIDZ3 set, allowing you to have
the lowest usable space, poorest performance and worst resilver times
possible.
That's not funny. I was actually considering this :p
But you have to admit, it would probably be somewhat reliable!

As recently discussed on this list, after all ZFS does not care
very much for the number of drives in a raidzN set, so optimization
is not about stripe alignment and stuff but about number of spindles,
resilver times, number of redundancy disks, etc.
