I did, I pulled out all of my old books on Solaris, then googled, then
illumos docs and even the oracle docs. As far as I can tell, Solaris
fully support GPT partitions, and therefore without the old "8 slices
on a disk, s2 is the whole disk for backup, etc.". That is great. But
the OS commands like zpool all work off of the old c0t0d0s* devices,
so how do you map those to the GPT partitions?
That I'm afraid I can't answer off the top of my head. The zpool
commands work with whole drives, slices or partitions.
As I said, most of the time people are working with whole drives,
especially with SmartOS where it is very unusual to dual boot.
I suggest that if you are evaluating the features (other than KVM) of
SmartOS, use a virtual machine. If you are looking at performance then
you'll be wanting to stick with whole drives.
As for the coherent threads... I want to, quite; I know it is
annoying. It is the damn listbox listserve software. I am set for
"digest" on the list, and bloody listbox does not support the very
basic and sane, "if you are on this thread, automatically cc you.". So
I am stuck checking the Web UI, hitting refresh, and then
copying/pasting into an email thread. Feh.
You could just subscribe to the list....
