Right, so you won't get an option to use UFS or ZFS. It's ZFS or nothing in OpenSolaris. You also can't install onto a raidz (or any other zfs configuration other than a single vdev). You can create a mirrored vdev after your initial installation but you won't get asked about that during installation you'll have to set it up after install (search google, it's quite easy to do). ZFS boot only supports mirrors and not raidz. Cheers, Glenn _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
