hi vermaden, what prompted me to share this is not beadm but the fact that your howto for zfs is the best around the interwebs and believe me i looked at so many. so all in all my addition was about encrypting the whole system and using a usb bootkey. on a side note i'm using the config above for a nas, didn't check beadm as of yet, so do you imply that it won't work with the system pool encrypted?. now back to your question i'm having 2 pools on the os disk because i feel it's easier to backup, recover the system should any upgrade go bad. the local part has an important essential subset backup from the raidz, in other words i'm just using the free space left on the OS disk for extra backups. I was hesitant to use a USB disk OS and maybe i'm wrong. other than that i'm using a small ssd for the zil. Well i think that's all about my zfs experience and thank you for sharing this as I said it's probably the best online .
