I don't think that would be a problem. When I've tried it, as long as the first two labels are found, it creates the labels at the end of the disk. Admittedly, I've never tried it with a root pool. > You could create a separate zpool in the spare fdisk partition. Not good > for performance, but probably fine for infrequently accessed data. I don't think the second fdisk partition can be used. The system doesn't like to have multiple "Solaris" partitions. -- Darren _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
