Hello,
I`m interested if anyone has tried installing ZFS on USB sticks (not the root or any part of the system itself)? What I have in mind is using USB sticks for daily backup - create zfs snapshot and send it to the zfs of the USB stick.
Will I be able to boot in this configuration if the USB stick is removed? If I remove the USB stick and put it in, will I be able to retrieve the pool? Will I be able to use the USB stick pool on other system running using zfs? Would I need to label the usb GPT partition using glabel?
The system in subject is FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE
Thanks
