I think a 'zpool online <device>' should also work, since it triggers a vdev_reopen(). But this requires that the underlying driver correctly detects the LUN expansion and reflects this in the ldi_get_size() call. I'm not sure if all drivers properly handle this case. - Eric -- Eric Schrock, Solaris Kernel Development http://blogs.sun.com/eschrock _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
