[OpenIndiana-discuss] zpool and nfs

For root pool don't specify the whole disk use the slice instead,
So
zpool add rpool c8t2d0s0
Note the s0 slice index, so that zpool doesn't replace the boot information
that it would if you use the entire disk (and it stops you with the EFI
message)
HTH,

Hi Bernd
SMI is selected now. But "zpool add" is still in problem. The
/var/adm/message is showing nothing!
Any idea? Thank you
