How does OpenSolaris, Sun's effort to free its big-iron OS, fare from a Linux user's point of view? Is it merely a passable curiosity right now, or is it truly worth installing? Linux Format takes OpenSolaris for a test drive, examining the similarities and differences to a typical Linux distro.

Yep, like this. Though you don't get to label vdevs.
Yet, I guess. When they finally implement vdev removal, you need to be able to address them.
--edit:
It'd work like this to create a pool with one RAID-Z array:
zpool create pacman raidz disk1 disk2 disk3 disk4
Then later, adding a second RAID-Z:
zpool add pacman raidz disk5 disk6 disk7 disk8
The end result are two RAID-Z vdevs. ZFS will then dynamically spread blocks based on parameters like write throughput and bandwidth usage.
