hello
thank you for your postings. i try to understood. but my english is not so 
good. :-)
for exporting a zfs i must use a special command like 
zspool export
this makes the filesystem ready to export.
but i think so:
when i boot from the live cd without mounting/activating the file system , the 
filesystem don't know about the backup / restore with dd. because dd copy's 
each sektor it is transparent for the file system.
is this correct?
when i create 2 file systems during install,
like
/dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 and say to the opensolaris installer... use as solaris, 
i think they get formatet with zfs.
now, when i boot from a live-cd can i copy with dd /dev/sda1 into a file on 
/dev/sda2 or are the data of the 2 partitions are mixed, so that i cannot copy 
only one partiton?
sorry again for my bad english and the problems understanding zfs. it is 
difficult for a linux user, that never used such a file system or a raid ....
