That should be a setting, though. Not a limitation. Netapp will create a new raid group when all existing groups are at a particular point. That way the raid groups don't become too large. Otherwise, it can expand the group. Today, ZFS doesn't have that option. > Ours is a few years old and isn't running the latest software rev, so > maybe they've overcome this now, but thought I'd mention it. This isn't a new feature. Back in the "old days"(TM), there was only one volume and one raid group on a head. So adding disks to a volume required the raid group be expanded onto the disks. -- Darren Dunham [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Technical Consultant TAOS http://www.taos.com/ Got some Dr Pepper?
