1. OmniOS just copies the zfs-dump in the installation

2. Zfs-dump zfs-restore

;)



>enterprise grade server os

We are talking about desktop operating systems here, so this is completely irrelevant.

>zfs

Not an OS.


>We are talking about desktop operating systems here, so this is completely irrelevant.

You can use Omni OS or Solaris as a desktop and i bet it's vastly more Desktop capable the Haiku.

>Not an OS.

No ZFS is a filesystem, and the Omni OS installer copies the image from the iso to the disk, the haiku installer is not a OS too.

Yep, it is a well known phenomenon some folks like to larp as mainframe administrator on their home pc but it wont make a server OS a desktop OS. This is also true for linux.

I meant you can definetely use zfs tools to clone a volume, but who want to read the zfs user guide for this? From the user POV starting the Installer and picking the new target to copy the whole installed and personalized system on a GUI is the simplest way. No other desktop OS does this, because while programmers know the storage technologies evolving every day and storage space was always an important question, nobody tried to help to the user to move the installed system to a different disk, instead they offer sketchy 3rdparty disk cloning tools.

Mediocre solution, but we never expected anything else from programmers, most of them dumb / soulless.


>larp as mainframe administrator on their home pc

Look buddy i stop here you lack basic knowledge.

HINT: Solaris is not a Mainframe OS, and Haiku is a single user system (aka launch everything as "root/admin"), and now think about it why it's so easy to copy files from one system to another ;)


I think the former wants to say that Solaris was build for servers and thin clients.


But then he's wrong with linux, Linus build linux for his pc.

And thinks zfs is a 3rd party tool on solaris...lost for words..


No, obviously i am wrong here. nix users doesn't larp as mainframe administrator, no way. They just simply doing the same, but it is definetely different, because they doing it on a pc. Man, i am speechless. Are you one of those who advocates for unix user handling, so you can abuse it to separate processes and don't even notice, how stupid to follow practices from the 60's? But hey, you can have an apache user...

Sad, but true, most people talking here should never picked IT as a profession.


Mainframes work completely different than unix, but hey your a unfunny troll and we leave it at that.
