The thinking was we would be let the user create vtoc slices for use in the rpool independent of what was currently on the disk. We originally thought that we didn't have support for getting slice data and maintaining state about preserving slice data in the supporting libraries. We do have this functionality though, so being able to preserve slice data should be doable and included in the vtoc management. thanks, sarah ****** > > Dave > _______________________________________________ > caiman-discuss mailing list > caiman-discuss at opensolaris.org > http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/caiman-discuss
