It's reliable, last time I check, both "beadm" way and "zfs rename" way :) The only catch seems to be that the BE you're going to rename can't be the active BE (current or on the next reboot). If it's the active BE, a simple "beadm activate" (and possibly reboot) to another BE is enough. You don't even have to edit /etc/vfstab. If I remember correctly early versions of zfs boot needs /etc/zfs/zpool.cache to be on boot archive, and the zfs name on /etc/vfstab. Those might be what gave you problem when they're mismatched with the current setup. Current code determines zfs name from the zpool property or grub (on x86) argument "bootfs", so it shouldn't be a problem. This is simply my observations though, not an authoritative answer. -- Fajar _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
