I followed Nahum's previous email suggestion, went through the
standard install process, entered network, etc. information.
When it wanted to install a zpool on my entire c0t0d0, I went manual,
created the zpool 'zones' on just the partitions I wanted, then exited
the shell.
I got the standard confirmation screen (Net, MAC, DNS, Hostname, NTP,
etc.), but it also says "all data on the disks will be erased."
How do I ensure that it is going to wipe out only the data on the
slices provided to the zpool 'zones', and not the entire disk?
Lots of data on lots of partitions that I do not want it to ruin....
Wow, yes, that's very confusing. The warning totally makes sense when
you're using the automatic pool layouts but doesn't make sense if you
did it manually.
It would be a bug for the installer to destroy your data if you'd opted
to manually create the zones pool.
That said, we would all hate for you to trip over such a bug on a system
where you care about the bits on the disks.
Do you have a spare machine or a VM where you could do a quick test to
satisfy yourself that it will do the right thing?
We might be able to get the installer to be more intelligent about
whether or not to display that warning...
