4 # The result of this builder is two disk images:
6 # * `boot` - a small disk formatted with FAT to be used for /boot. FAT is
7 # chosen to support EFI.
8 # * `root` - a larger disk with a zpool taking the entire disk.
10 # This two-disk approach is taken to satisfy ZFS's requirements for
13 # # Why doesn't autoexpand work with ZFS in a partition?
15 # When ZFS owns the whole disk doesn’t really use a partition: it has
16 # a marker partition at the start and a marker partition at the end of
19 # If ZFS is constrained to a partition, ZFS leaves expanding the partition
20 # up to the user. Obviously, the user may not choose to do so.
22 # Once the user expands the partition, calling zpool online -e expands the
23 # vdev to use the whole partition. It doesn’t happen automatically
24 # presumably because zed doesn’t get an event saying it’s partition grew,
25 # whereas it can and does get an event saying the whole disk it is on is
