Hi,
I'm trying to get a Flash Archive Jumpstart Running with ZFS Filesystem. For Testing I set up a VirtualBox VM with 2 Disks attached. On the first disk I have the ZFS root pool, on the second Disk I have some more ZFS Pools which I use for 2 additional Zones I've set up. Restoring works fine if I just restore the Root pool since in the config File I can just mention the root pool, otherwise I get an error when booting saying something like multiple root pools are not allowed. Config looks like this:
Maybe not possible in the profile. "pool" means "root pool". Did not find another keyword for other pools.
Of course you can create the other pools by shell commands in a finish script (specified in the "rules" file).
I am building a new server on sol10_X86.
I am new to ZFS, this will be one of the first systems to use it.
I would like to have /opt /usr and a /u01 as separate file systems from the main ZFS pool. I know that this goes against the basic idea of ZFS, but this is so I can restrict the size/usage... (1 Reply)
