Alternatively, I guess I could add a small USB drive to use solely for
the OS and then have all of the 2 750 drives for ZFS. Is that a bad
idea since the OS drive will be standalone?
Very bad idea.

I've just built my first USB-booting zfs system.
hello
i also suggest, use your 750g drives as raid-1 data pool.
i usually use one or better two (raid-1) 2,5 drives in the floppy-bay
as system drive

Hi whitetr6,
An interesting situation to which there is no, right, answer. In fact, many
different answers depending on where you put your priorities.
I'm with Frank in keeping data and OS separate. As you've only got two drives,
I'd put between 30 to 40 gig as an OS pool on each drive (making
Correct that ... I have seen a bad batch of drives fail in close succession;

Perhaps an expert could kindly chime in an opinion of making the drives one
large zpool (rather than separate hard partitions) and using the various
options within ZFS to ensure that there is always disk space available to the
operating system (zpool reservation) ... but the more I sit and

I thank each of you for all of your insights. I think if this was a production
system I'd abandon the idea of 2 drives and get a more capable system, maybe a
2U box with lots of SAS drives so I could use RAIDZ configurations. But in this
case, I think all I can do is try some things until I
