zfs discuss - Apr 2006 - sys-unconfig doesn''t support zfs?

I''ve just noticed that sys-unconfig has some problems when zfs is in
use
(for /usr ?)

# df -h / /usr /opt
Filesystem             size   used  avail capacity  Mounted on
/dev/dsk/c0d0s0         32G   344M    31G     2%    /
data/usr-b38           209G   2.0G   147G     2%    /usr
data/opt               209G   1.7G   147G     2%    /opt


#  sys-unconfig
This program may not be run on diskless or dataless clients.


This box isn''t a diskless or dataless client.

Without even looking at sys-unconfig, I can guess that
it expects /usr to be stored on something that looks
like "/dev/dsk/c?d?s?" and if it''s not, the system is
assumed to have /usr remoted-mounted.

For now, unless you''re running the bleeding-edge
zfs root configuration (instructions for which are
forthcoming very soon in Tabriz Leman''s blog now that
Opensolaris contains the support for it), don''t put
Solaris system software on a zfs dataset.
Many things break if you do.

And if you ARE running with a zfs root, sys-unconfig
won''t work. However, I''ve added it to the list of things
that need to be fixed.
