Is ZFS actually designed > for that use? zfs works fine as root on opensolaris, though it took them a while to get there. Functionally, it should do as well on FreeBSD (and note that the "experimental" appellation was removed very recently, though it has been effectively "production ready" on 8.x for a while), though I'm certain that the rather large memory needs restrict its practical use to 64bit & multiple G of RAM: not your average netbook, by any means. I hope our developers see fit to make sysinstall zfs aware, but I hope we are not pushed (I know how to kick and my screams are deafening) into using it any time soon: ufs is wonderful for us ordinary computer users. -- --
