Dual pentium II 450. 512 RAM. No hardware raid though. Given the fact 7.0 is near including ZFS. Given the fact, as I understand, freebsd can boot of ZFS I wanna make raid1 on/with ZFS. Now my question: does the version 7 livedisc understands ZFS ootb ? So I can create pools etc, format, label, etc etc. All the things that now are possible with UFS2. And even better: is the installer able to deal with ZFS ? I plan to make this box doing sql and it would be great if, in case of disaster, I can perform a bare metal recovery. Any insights are welcome. Cheers, Robert
