[zfs-discuss] Help with simple (?) reconfigure of zpool

2008-11-01 Thread Robert Rodriguez
Hello all. I was hoping to get some advice on how to do this without moving or losing my data. I have 6 drives in two raidz1 vdevs in a pool. I have 2 new 1TB drives that I would like to add to that pool and replace 3 of the smaller drives. I'd like to end up with 5 1TB drives in a single ra

As others have said, you're kind of stuck. I'd wait until you have another 1TB drive, then replace all 3 on your second pool. That really is the easiest way to add capacity. However, with 6 drives you would be much better off with a single raid-z2 pool, and it's probably easier to change conf

PS. Without backups, single parity raid really isn't something I'd recommend with 1TB drives. Personally I'd take backups of any critical files and start migrating as soon as I could. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ zfs-discuss mailin

Nobody? Should I open a bug report? Maybe some more info: The port the broken disk was attached to is no used by the new boot device containing a fresh zpool. I didn't want to loose all information from the old root pool, so I decided to use another disk temporarily. Is it possible that the zpo
