That had been my plan, and that's how I laid out my slices for zpools and UFS BEs before ZFS boot came along. Unfortunately, at least once this resizing exercise went wrong, fatally, it seems, but so far nobody cared to comment: http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/zfs-discuss/2008-July/049180.html And on SPARC, the hopefully safe method from a failsafe environment is hampered by http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/install-discuss/2008-July/006754.html I think at least the second issue needs to be resolved before ZFS root is appropriate for general use.
