Yes, of course. Adding this to partman-zfs is not trivial though (most of partman-zfs mimics partman-lvm, but this part required extra work and I didn't have time when I did the initial port). > That's not to say it absolutely cannot work.

What does work well is using LVM > logical volumes as virtual hard disks for a Xen or KVM guest for example. Note that LVM support (with readonly metadata) in kFreeBSD D-I is still incomplete. Most of the pieces are there though, I think you just need to manually load the geom_lvm kernel modules. -- Robert Millan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
