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. -- / Peter Schuller PGP userID: 0xE9758B7D or 'Peter Schuller <peter.schuller_at_infidyne.com>' Key retrieval: Send an E-Mail to getpgpkey_at_scode.org E-Mail: peter.schuller_at_infidyne.com Web: http://www.scode.org
