Hi,

I have a question concerning booting Solaris (SPARC/X64) with some ZFS 
storage pools/datasets created and mounted.

Where from Solaris/ZFS knows which storage pools/datasets should be 
mounted after reboot???

ZFS is not using at all /etc/vfstab configuration file (I exclude here 
case where we set mountpoint=legacy).

My understanding is that ZFS kernel modules are writing some information 
about mounting state of storage pools/datasets to disks just before 
unloading (of ZFS kernel modules). When Solaris boots, it is loading ZFS 
kernel modules. These kernel modules are checking all disks devices in 
/dev, /devices directories for possibility of performing silent 'zpool 
import -a'.

Anybody could confirm/deny above statements???

Greetings and thanks in advance,

Robert
