You'll have to perform a custom install. Have a look at the caiman installer sources to see how you could achieve this. Practically, you'd have to set up separate Solaris partitions yourself, and then mount them. Why exactly do you want to have these directories mounted separately ? If you want to have fine grained control over the directories, then create new ZFS file systems and set the mount point accordingly. e.g mv /opt /opt.orig (rename /opt) zfs create rpool/opt (create a new zfs file system, which will automatically have the mount point /opt due to convention. You can change this using zfs set mountpoint=/myopt rpool/opt) mv /opt.orig/* /opt (move files into the new /opt folder which is a separate zfs file system by itself) /bin/rm -Rf /opt.orig (remove the /opt.orig folder) You can see the new /opt as being part of the rpool disk pool using the command zfs list. Advantages: - if you want to add more storage, simply add it to the rpool - if you want to regulate the size of the /opt folder, you can do so using the zfs property for this file system - zfs get all rpool/opt to see what properties you can set. - if you get a new disk and for some reason want to have a separate pool on that disk, you can do so. Then, you could move this opt file system from the rpool running on the present disk to the zfs pool on the new disk. Practically, I'd recommend that you only keep disk I/O intestive tasks in new higher speed disks. > ?Also 1 more thing its by default using ZFS file system. > > Can we expect UFS as alternative FS option in next version of Belenix? ?:-) I > know it's reverse gear but still. > > No, we'll not go back to UFS (with all due respect the filesystem and its development), because ZFS is the future for us :D > > ?Regards, > ?Amey. > > > _______________________________________________ > belenix-discuss mailing list > http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/belenix-discuss > http://groups.google.com/group/belenix-discuss >
