Solaris is not happy using partitions and slices at the same time. You can do it, but I don't think it's recommended. Creating multiple slices on the install drive isn't supported by the installer, or it wasn't the last time I did a clean build. A word of caution: I burned out a 30GB SSD (OCZ Vertex, which has an Indilinx Barefoot) in about 3 months using it as the L2ARC for my home media server. I'm not sure if the write cycles were used up, or if it was another problem, but it died and had to be RMA'd. I suspect that writing new media and viewing habits resulted in a lot of cache churn. -B -- Brandon High : bh...@freaks.com _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
