Solaris 10 and zfs on boot drive
Has anyone installed Solaris 10 10/08 and enabled zfs on the boot drive? We're considering enabling zfs boot on some upcoming production machines and I was curious if anyone here has experiences they wish to share.

I have it running on a number of desktops. All I can tell you is that I was advised by Sun engineering not to take it yet for production, but to wait until update 7 to allow it to "shake down" in case there is anything that slipped though QA that cannot be fixed by patching and needs an update.
