Cause you can't have two pools with the same name. You either need to
rename the old pool first, or rename the new pool afterwards.
But in your instructions you have me dest

read the link please
it seems that afmter you create the radiz1 zpool
you need to destroy the fakedisk so it will have contains data when you to the
copy
copy the data by following the steps in the link
replace the fakedisk withnthe real disk
this is a good approach that i did not know before

No, you can't add a 3rd disk to an existing RAIDZ vdev of two disks.
You would want to add another 2 disk RAIDZ vdev.
See Example 4-2 in this section:

Perfect, thanks. Just what I was looking for.
How do I know how large to make the "fakedisk" file? Any old "enormous" size
will do, since mkfile -n doesn't actually allocate the blocks until needed?
To be sure I understand correctly: In theory, instead of this missing disk

Hi Bob,
Not many options because you can't attach disks to convert a
non-redundant pool to a RAIDZ pool.
To me, the best solution is to get one more disk (for a total of 4
disks) to create a mirrored pool. Mirrored pools provide more
flexibility. See 1 below.
See the options below.
Thanks,

IMHO, there is no easy way out for you
1)tape backup and restore
2)find a larger USB SATA disk, copy the data over then restore later
after raidz1 setup

Hi,
I had a single-disk zpool (export) and was given two new disks for expanded
storage. All three disks are identically sized, no slices/partitions. My goal
is to create a raidz1 configuration of the three disks, containing the data in
the original zpool.
However, I got off on the wrong foot

We're using Hitachi HDS723030ALA640 on this rather busy server, and they've
been stable for about a year - I don't even think we've lost any yet (out of
