I don't belive boot support is integrated into any version of Solaris yet. Much of the support exists in Solaris express (only on x86 at the moment), but the installer will not install onto ZFS, so there's a lot of work to do after installation. > Zone roots can definitely go on ZFS, unsure about global zone. > I'm researching that question currently. While they *can* go on ZFS, the documentation says that they should not. Again the installer's lack of knowledge about ZFS means that system upgrades can have problems in this situation. (If you don't upgrade, you'll probably be okay). > The per-filesystem quota is the same thing as just making a bunch > of VxVM volumes and putting a filesystem on it.

You can't overcommit volume storage but you can overcommit quotas. -- Darren Dunham [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Technical Consultant TAOS http://www.taos.com/ Got some Dr Pepper?
