So, that means that if you haven't yet mirrored your disk, rpool/ROOT/solaris and rpool/export/home/arah/ has no size? Is that so?

Oh, I got it.
Thank you so much! Smilie

May I ask what's the rpool/swap is for in the disk?

No. If you didn't mirror your disk, then your data wouldn't be protected in case of a disk failure. rpool/swap is swap volume used by Solaris as swap device. You can check it in
Code:
swap -l

But if that's the case, how can I prove that the local files are copied on the other disk?

By the output of zpool status.
