First off - well done. I have run across a few bumps (bugs logged) but overall things have gone pretty well. If I wasn't fighting hardware issues (e.g. bad sectors) this would have been the easiest installation of an OS I have ever done. By and large, the installation did "the right thing" and once installed the system is immediately usable for a number of tasks.
Now for the real reason for writing... With zfs root, can compression be enabled? Given the relatively slow speed of most hard drives today, I would expect that there would be performance benefits in having it enabled. This is particularly true for laptops. Has there already been discussion on the real name for the default root zpool? As I am creating new file systems or changing parameters on existing ones, zpl_slim doesn't just roll off the fingers. I suspect that a few years from now "slim" will be a pleasant memory but not something that we probably want in the name of all root pools. I would suggest that the root pool be named "root" or "rp". A very short name is desirable to make command output that displays zfs file system lists more compact. -- Mike Gerdts http://mgerdts.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
