I found it very interesting > but I need more info. Are you referring to mounting "/" from the inner dataset called system/root (rather that using the root dataset like in GPTZFSBoot)? I think an inner dataset is better for "/" because it gives you more flexibility later. In particular, you can do zfs destroy on it (which is impossible on the root dataset). You can also have alternate roots for different OS versions. __Martin
