There is a windows tool that creates USB stick image from ISO. http://devzone.sites.pid0.org/OpenSolaris/opensolaris-liveusb-creator Importing/exporting pool created on FreeBSD did work fine for me. The pool built with labeled GPT slices (/dev/gpt/blah). OpenSolaris did use its own funky names but that's about all that was different. Just don't upgrade pool or filesystem by accident. If you do, you will not be able to use it back on FreeBSD. --Artem On Mon, Jan 25, 2010 at 9:51 PM, Steven Schlansker <stevenschlansker@gmail.com> wrote: > > On Jan 25, 2010, at 9:49 PM, Tommi L=E4tti wrote: > >>> I poked through the code - the problem is that ZFS identifies the drive >>> as valid (due to correct metadata+checksums) and then tries to assemble= the >>> array. =A0At some point it checks the size, realizes that the drive is = smaller, >>> and rejects the entire array. =A0It isn't smart enough (yet?) to realiz= e that >>> only rejecting the one drive would allow it to be only degraded... >> >> A nice feature indeed.
