Well, when I wanted to export and import the partition, the root partition said it was busy (obviously) and I tried using a secondary attached hdd. By miracle, the zpool increased the size automatically after the reboot. So, it's that simple. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

I'm running snv_101a and have been seeing some unexpected behaviour with ZFS and EFI disk labels. If I fdisk 2 disks to have EFI partitions and label them with the appropriate partition beginning at sector 34 and then give them to ZFS for a pool, ZFS would appear to change the beginning sector

I can tell you a little about Windows VSS snapshots compared to ZFS ones, since one of the main reasons I'm so interested in ZFS is because windows snapshots are so useless. For windows VSS: * You have OS overhead for taking the snapshot, as opposed to it being instantaneous for ZFS. Microsoft

No, there won't be anything on the drive, I was just wondering if ZFS might get confused seeing a disk it knows about, but with no data on there. To be honest, on a single parity raid array with that many drives, I'd be buying another drive straight away. You've got no protection for your data ri
