If I remember correctly zfs prefers unpartitioned disks > ZFS on Solaris used to require the use of entire, raw disks as the cache was disabled if the disk was partitioned, tanking performance ZFS on FreeBSD has never had this issue, and has fully supported the use of partitioned disks from the very first import of ZFS into 7-Stable. No other OS that supports ZFS has this issue; it's strictly a Solaris (and derivatives) issue. Cheers, Freddie Typos due to smartphone keyboard. -- Freddie Cash fjwcash@gmail.com
