Gee, I hate to see you form such an opinion on the limited contact you
have so far.
If I understand your original post, I believe you are using Solaris 10,
probably the free 11/06 media kit, rather than OpenSolaris. So that's a
teensy bit off topic for this OpenSolaris group but not far enoug

Hello,
I have been reading alot of good things about Raid-z, but before I jump into it
I have one unanswered question i can't find a clear answer for.
Is it possible to enlarge the initial RAID size by adding single drives later

If i start off with 4*500gb (should give me 1.5tb), can I add

I think you make a valid point about about tracking Debian unstable, or
from my experience with Gentoo, just going along with the latest portage

version is very comforting in the enterprise. It enables me to point at
