A slightly different tack now...

what filesystems is it a good (or bad) idea to put on ZFS?
root - NO (not yet anyway)
home - YES (although the huge number of mounts still scares me a bit)
/usr - possible?
/var - possible?
swap - no?

Is there any advantage in having multiple zpools over just having one
and allocating all filesystems out of it?
Obviously if you wanted (for example) /export/home to be raidz and /usr
to be mirror you would have to, but are there other considerations
beyond that?

I'm thinking that zfs frees me up from getting the sizing 'right' at
install time i.e. big enough that I don't have to resize later, which
inevitably means at least one filesystem being far bigger than it needs
to be.

Steve.
