The server is a web server and poudriere package builder, with some postgres and mysql databases as backends for the web services. We don't anticipate user data or home/project directories. My first ZFS install was Solaris 11, which recommended (mandated?) that rpool be from a slice not an entire disk, and boot from an SMI (VTOC) disk. So I followed the same convention when installing FreeBSD. -- DE
