[OpenIndiana-discuss] Migrating to smaller root pool

[Reginald Beardsley]

I'm done now, but I plan to redo and document for the wiki, so thanks.  I'll make sure to include that.
My problem was not having set bootfs.  I'm still puzzled about how to clear it.

 # beadm create -p npool newbe
 # beadm activate newbe
 
 I then needed to migrate any other filesystems and volumes
 outside
 the legacy BE.
 I booted the new BE in single user and used it as an
 opportunity
 to prune my filesystems and resize swap and dump.
