[OmniOS-discuss] changing rpool zfs properties prior to install

[Paul B. Henson]

Currently AFAIK there is no way to muck with the rpool during an omnios 
install. It's easy enough to attach another disk after the fact if you 
want a mirrored rpool, but I was thinking of trying out compression on 
my rpool, and turning that on after everything's already copied doesn't 
do much good :).

Is there anyway to use the break out to the shell option in the 
installer to go create the rpool manually, and then have the installer 
use it rather than create its own? Or any other method by which you 
could customize zfs properties on your rpool prior to the OS actually 
being installed?

Thanks…
