This isn't an option for me. The current machine is going to be totally
upgraded,
New motherboard, new ram (ecc) new controller cards and 9 new hard drives.
Current pool is 3 raidz1 vdevs with 4 drives each (all 1 tb)
It's about 65% full.
If i have to use some other filesystem that is an opt
I don't know how much progress has been made on this, but back when I moved
from FreeBSD (an older version, maybe the first to have stable ZFS) to Solaris,
this couldn't be done since they were not quite compatible yet. I got some new
drives since the ones I had were dated, copied the data to th
guys! it's alll good.
We don't need to argue about whether or not EFI is or isn't platform
independentwhat would be nice, is if someone can explain the best way to
create a zpool in freebsd that i can import into solaris so i can move my
data.
I've still got a week or two before i have t

Kind regards, BM
Things, that are stupid at the beginning, rarely ends up wisely.

What you mean by "most OS on PC does not support EFI" and what is "PC
platform" anyway? There is some crappy i386 hardware that does not
supports EFI boot

It is. Not all OS will read an EFI label.
You misunderstood the concept of OS specific, I feel. EFI is indeed

at the risk of sounding really stupidis an EFI label the same as using
guid partions? I think i remember reading about setting GUID partioned disks
in FreeBSD. If so, i could try

I'm not sure about BSD, but Solaris ZFS works with whole devices. So there
isn't any OS specific formatting involved. I

It's on whole disks but if i remember right those disks are tied to the
highpoint raid card.

I was wondering what the best method of moving a pool from FreeBSD 8.0 to
OpenSolaris is.
When i originally built my system, it was using hardware which wouldn't work
in opensolairs, but i'm about to do an upgrade so i should be able to use
Opensolaris when i'm done.
My current system uses a High
