In my experience the system is actually installing just veeeery slowly. have a look at the ZFS evil tuning guide and disable the ZIL while installing. Really speeds up things. Don't know why it's so slow on a USB memory stick but good enough as work around and not really a risk as it's a fresh install anyway Thomas -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- GPG fingerprint: B1 EE D2 39 2C 82 26 DA A5 4D E0 50 35 75 9E ED _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
