FreeNas can be installed on a ZFS boot volume. This is nice. It would be funny to go through a lot of trouble to commision a nice ZFS pool for your own dataset, and not have a protected OS, would it? Imagen "bit-rotted" ZFS driver code corruption your pool!
However, there seems to be a small hitch: FreeNAS (al least with my defaul install) creates several non ZFS filesystems as /etc, /var and more.
I would expect that these would also be on a protected ZFS pool. Or is an undetected error on these filesystems never a danger for the integrity of my ZFS pool?
