So all is right with the world again. But I'm still left with one
question: why on Earth is *parted* not included as part of the SmartOS
hypervisor image? The old Solaris format command is spectacularly
user-unfriendly and always has been. I can't imagine that parted
requires so much additional space that it couldn't be included. Was
there any particular rationale to not put a better and more
user-friendly partitioning tool into the OS that runs at the top level
and manages the hardware?
As Jussi said, partitioning disks on a ZFS only system is uncommon.
Splitting an SSD between log and cache generally isn't a very performant
option. Devices that make good cache devices may not be good logs.
With SmartOS running KVM, there is a big gain from log devices, but not
much from a cache.
Cheers,
Ian.
