Hi David, All system-related components should remain in the root pool, such as the components needed for booting and running the OS.
If you have datasets like /export/home or other non-system-related datasets in the root pool, then feel free to move them out. Moving OS components out of the root pool is not tested by us and I've heard of one example recently of breakage when usr and var were moved to a non-root RAIDZ pool. It would be cheaper and easier to buy another disk to mirror your root pool then it would be to take the time to figure out what could move out and then possibly deal with an unbootable system. Buy another disk and we'll all sleep better. Cindy On 09/25/09 13:35, David Abrahams wrote:
Hi, Since I don't even have a mirror for my root pool "rpool," I'd like to move as much of my system as possible over to my raidz2 pool, "tank." Can someone tell me which parts need to stay in rpool in order for the system to work normally? Thanks.
