Hello, |
2 |
|

My / (root) lives on /dev/sdb1. My /dev/sda has no partitions and no data |
4 |
except for what I presume is the mbr written by lilo. [history: sdb is an |
5 |
SSD and I never wanted to use the slow sda] |
6 |
|
7 |
I have been playing with ZFS on a USB drive and I am ready to create a |
8 |
zpool on /dev/sda. |
9 |
|
10 |
ZFS recommends that I give it the entire drive (partitioning discouraged). |
11 |
In this case I hesitate to give ZFS my entire drive as I worry ZFS will |
12 |
clobber my MBR rendering my system unbootable. |
13 |
|
14 |
Are my fears warranted? If so, what should I do about it? If you |
15 |
recommend that I partition sda, what parameters do I used to avoid a |
16 |
clobber? |
17 |

Thank you, |
