Re: [zfs-discuss] Growing root pool ?

I had a similar configuration until my recent re-install to snv91. Now I am have just 2 ZFS pools - one for root+boot (big enough to hold multiple BEs and do LiveUpgrades) and another for the rest of my data. -Wyllys This message posted from opensolaris.org _

Luckily, my system had a pair of identical, 232GB disks. The 2nd wasn't yet used, so by juggling mirrors (create 3 mirrors, detach the one to change, etc...), I was able to reconfigure my disks more to my liking - all without a single reboot or loss of data. I now have 2 pools - a 20GB root po

I'm not even trying to stripe it across multiple disks, I just want to add another partition (from the same physical disk) to the root pool. Perhaps that is a distinction without a difference, but my goal is to grow my root pool, not stripe it across disks or enable raid features (for now). Cu

2008-05-01 Thread Wyllys Ingersoll
Are there any updated guides/blogs on how to configure ZFS boot on a build 88 or later system? If I already have an existing zpool, will I be able to just add a root/boot dataset or does the root/boot dataset have to have it's own pool? I have several working systems that have small UFS partiti

That doesn't work either. I ended up destroying the entire pool and starting over. There was a lot of data already in there, but it wasn't critical, luckily. This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensola

[zfs-discuss] zpool remove problem

2008-01-11 Thread Wyllys Ingersoll
I have a pool with 3 partitions in it. However, one of them is no longer valid, the disk was removed and modified so that the original partition is no longer available. I cannot get zpool to remove it from the pool. How do I tell zfs to take this item out of the pool if not with "zfs remove"
