For those I you still strapped to the Solaris 10 boat anchor, I see
that kernel patch 142901-09 (142900 on SPARC) includes new interesting
zfs fixes:
6586537 async zio taskqs can block out userland commands

As others mentioned, doing raidz with two slices on the same disk is
pointless from a redundancy perspective. You may as well just create a
pool using only the 1TB drive, copy the data over, then create a raidz
using the 500s
It still has the issue that the end user has to know where the root of
the filesystem is in the tree (assuming it's even accessible on the
system -- might not be for an NFS mount).

Hi all,
I would like to add a new partition to my ZFS pool but it looks like it's more

The layout of my disk is the following:

- second partition for OpenSolaris.This is where I have all the Solaris slices

Hi Justin,
Maybe I misunderstand your question...
When you export a pool, it becomes available for import by using
the zpool import command. For example:
1. Export tank:
# zpool export tank
2. What pools are available for import:
# zpool import
pool: tank

There are many benchmarks out there, but the question is, how relevant are
