<ul></ul><p>In at least one sense, you have such.</p>
<p>Not sure if you can do this by escaping to the CLI and skipping the <br />steps below, but will try it later today.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, even if so, it might be easier to:</p>
<p>- Simply ignore or reserve adequate space on partitions, slices, <br />separate devices, or any combination thereof.</p>
<p>- Do a minimal/full/intermediate install to UFS - not using the space <br />set aside.</p>
<p>- After you have the full system with all its tools up and running, use <br />the hammer utils to create and mount hammer partitions in the <br />space/devices you reserved, and in the manner you prefer.</p>
<p>Thereafter, moving the system itself into hammer may or may not be on <br />your radar.</p>
<p>CAVEAT: pfs and nullfs seem to very much have their uses. Omitting them <br />is not necessarily the best thing. OTOH, it is at least as easy to add <br />them as to remove them. Especially if already populated..</p>
<p>;-)</p>
<p>Personally, I expect to reserve hammer mounts for client apps, R&D, <br />backing store etc. on large media, and keep the 'system' on UFS in space <br />too small for effective hammer use anyway.</p>
<p>My system areas - the '/' binaries, '/usr', '/var', have never needed <br />much in the way of snapshots and the like.</p>
<p>YMMV,</p>
