Hi, I was just wondering if ZFS root is likely to be an install option any time soon, either in SXCR or the June Solaris update? The mechanism at Tabriz''s blog seem to work well, but it''d be nice to get it out of the box. -- Rasputin :: Jack of All Trades - Master of Nuns http://number9.hellooperator.net/
We''re aiming for a release of bootable zfs in update 4. So it won''t be available in SXCR very soon. However, we might be able to supply some parts of it, or at least some improvements to the manual method, via Tabriz''s blog before then. We''ll have to look at it.

All, For those who haven''t already gone through the painful manual process of setting up a ZFS Root, Tim Foster has put together a script. It is available on his blog (http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/timf/20060425). I haven''t tried it out, but am sure it is fabulous; thanks again Tim.

Hi there Can a ZFS root participate in Live Upgrade, that is does luupgrade understand a ZFS root?

no, luupgrade does not yet support zfs root. That support will come with the rest of the zfs install support.
