Hi Cindy, Wouldn't
touch /reconfigure mv /etc/path_to_inst* /var/tmp/ regenerate all device information? AFIK zfs doesn't care about the device names it scans for them it would only affect things like vfstab. I did a restore from a E2900 to V890 and is seemed to work Created the pool and zfs recieve. I would like to be able to have a zfs send of a minimal build and install it in an abe and activate it. I tried that is test and it seems to work. It seems to work but IM just wondering what I may have missed. I saw someone else has done this on the list and was going to write a blog. It seems like a good way to get a minimal install on a server with reduced downtime. Now if I just knew how to run the installer in and abe without there being an OS there already that would be cool too.
