after all statements read here I just want to highlight another issue regarding ZFS.
It was here many times recommended to set copies=2. Installing Solaris 10 10/2008 or snv_107 you can choose either to use UFS or ZFS. If you choose ZFS by default, the rpool will be created by default with 'copies=1'. If someone does not mention this and you have a hanging system with no chance to access or to shutdown properly and you have no other chance than to press the power button of your notebook through the desk plate, couldn't it be that there happens the same with my external usb drive? This is the same sudden power off event what seems to damage my pool. And it would be a nice to have that ZFS could handle this. Another issue what I miss in this thread is, that ZFS is a layer on an EFI lable. What about that in case of a sudden power off event?
