I recently did an attempt at mirroring my zpool. It came out like it was supposed to and I was able to boot off the mirror so I guess I got it right.
Now I need to enlarge the rpool. I've seen at least one mention on google of doing that by adding another mirror to zpool but a bigger disc. Let it silver, make it bootable, then detach it and boot from it. Once its booted I guess I can use something like `autoexpand' to make the pool grow to fit the bigger disk. I'd like to know if that general plan is something that is likely to work or just make a big mess. Also wondering when I detach the new bigger bootable disc, how do I tell the OS not to boot off one of the existing mirrored pair of original rpool discs. Probably something I should know... but thinking about it I'm just drawing blanks. Another thing I wondered is since I'm planning to add a mirror to this new bigger disc anyway... so should I do that right at the same time to avoid having no mirror for some amount of time. _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
