So, correct me if I am wrong:
1- I need to let go the slice/partitions concepts and now think in matter of
pool/filesystems ?
2- And assuming "1-" is right, I have to dedicate an entire disk to a zpool ?
3- If "2-" is also true, my preoccupation now is, when I shall need to
reinstall the OS, what are the steps to go through in order to preserve my
data - especially the "/home" filesystem -, across the two installations ?
