Most of the FreeBSD guides seem to think "legacy" is the way to go, but I much prefer "/" myself. The main difference is with "legacy", one sets a mountpoint option on each filesystem under it (which does, indeed, undermine the altroot facility), whereas "/" lets the other filesystems inherit their mountpoint from their path in the zpool. "/" seems to be a little closer to its Solaris usage, which is still the majority of the documentation you'll find on ZFS on the internet (and even in the man pages distributed with FreeBSD). -- Matt Mullins _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
