Hello list. My concern is this: I really really like freebsd-update and want to continue using it. Freebsd-update however, assumes that no part of your base system has been compiled by hand, it's intended to be used to update from official binaries to other official binaries. I am also gathering (from things I've read so far) that you HAVE to build a custom loader if you want to boot off a ZFS mirror or raidz... but what about a non-redundant ZFS pool as system root in 8.0-RELEASE? Can I have a full ZFS FreeBSD installation on a non-redundant ZFS pool and have the system boot off it without having to compile anything manually with the existing binaries provided on the 8.0 install DVD? - Sincerely, Dan Naumov
