It's probably not quite what you had in mind, but this will achieve the result.
I've done something similar for zfs testing.
Have each individual machine schlep out the disk as a target via iscsi. I
haven't happened to notice whether solaris has an iscsi target, but netbsd's
target works with

I have two suggestions which are just minor nits compared with the rest of this
discussion:
1. Why do you print a "T" between the date and the time? I think a space would
be more readable.
2. When pri
ZFS doesn't demand that the drives have the same capacity. If you
mirror a 30GB drive and a 40GB drive then ZFS will treat them as two
30GB drives, so you're effectively wasting 10GB of space.

Hi,
I just got an Ultra 20 with the default 80GB internal disk. Right now,
I'm using around 30GB for zfs. I will be getting a new 250GB drive.
Question: If I create a 30GB slice on the 250GB drive, will that be okay
to use as mirror (or raidz) of the current 30GB that I now have on the
30G

Add the capability of ZFS to log commands to disk (peristently). Only
successful commands are logged. At first,
Bill -- thanks for the write up!
Note that we're working on a best-practices document about how to
migrate file systems/volumes to ZFS. It didn't make it for the launch
yesterday, though.
