My understanding is that the on-disk format is entirely compatible in terms of ZFS, but there are problems with the GPT. FreeBSD will detect the GPT but complain that it's broken or some such; or at least it did last time I tried. Perhaps it's possible to make Solaris do away with the GPT and just use the plain disk, or some such. --=20 / Peter Schuller PGP userID: 0xE9758B7D or 'Peter Schuller ' Key retrieval: Send an E-Mail to getpgpkey@scode.org E-Mail: peter.schuller@infidyne.com Web: http://www.scode.org --------------enig934C6DBA1DB041548930E4E6 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGaZCYDNor2+l1i30RCEQpAJ9C61hLbyDhgbCzThL8MGTxsx1ihwCfYB4K bYAki2brXGWygSyZJSRyjmg= =yW5p -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig934C6DBA1DB041548930E4E6--
