In fact you can also move /usr/local, /home, /var, /tmp off the CF and onto ZFS as well.
That way, the only time the CF disk gets written to is when you manually edit something in /boot or /etc, or when doing an installkernel/installworld.
Sort of. System comes back up, Xorg still works, but network cards are dead and I can't suspend a second time.DrJ said:Does suspend and resume work?

Sadly, my hopes were incorrect. Suspending my system breaks both my network devices - if_bge and if_iwn. Some USB devices fail to come back up too. At least it's half working, though.aragon said:Unloading the network modules prior to a suspend might help, but I'll need to setup a custom kernel to test. Stay tuned...
I'm just typing "out of my posterior" so to speak, but I had heard that suspend/resume & SMP do not play well together. My experience was that it is not worth the hassle, what with powerd(8) working quite well (powerd_flags=" -a hiadaptive -b adaptive") and boot times being trivial (& built-in session managers for all the applications that matter as far as that goes).aragon said:Sadly, my hopes were incorrect.

Looks like I shaved off a second with latest code from HEAD and a custom kernel - 23 seconds from the boot loader to the Xorg/XDM login screen. This is on a laptop with Core 2 Duo 2.5 GHz, 2 GB RAM, and 7200 RPM drive.

I think I can shave a couple seconds off the kernel load time with a custom compile.
