Likewise, you should not use an entire disk as part of a mirror or RAID-Z vdev. These are because it it impossible to reliably determine the size of an unpartitioned disk. below: Disk - The most basic type of vdev is a standard block device. This can be an entire disk (such as /dev/ada0 or /dev/da0) or a partition (/dev/ada0p3 ). On &os;, there is no performance penalty for using a partition rather than the entire disk. This differs from recommendations made by the Solaris documentation. This is similar to the way the is written 2 s below. Yet, my new fails to appear after "make all install" whereas the does. Why? Did I make a mistake I'm not seeing?
