            Bug ID: 208802
           Summary: Install to zfs should have copies=3D option to provide
                    some anti-bitrot protection
           Product: Base System
           Version: 10.2-RELEASE
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: conf
          Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: scratch65535@att.net

Building up a filesever with a zfs 3-way mirror for the sake of the anti-bi=
trot
scrubbing, I wanted to install onto zfs as well, using copies=3D2 (or even =
=3D3) as
a compromise between having no bitrot protection and consuming a second dri=
ve
as a mirror.  But there is no install option to do copies=3D.

I decided to hack the install file myself, but then couldn't squeeze everyt=
hing
back into the same size iso it started with.  I've never done release
engineering, and don't have time to spend debugging things like that, so wh=
y it
wouldn't cooperate remains a mystery to me and I ended up installing to ufs=
 as
my only practical option.
