Tan - ZFS is designed to grow devices, but due to a bug in ZFS as well as a larger design flaw when dealing with labelled disks, this will not happen. The changes required to make this work were recently approved as part of:
PSARC/2006/373 Dynamic LUN Expansion This involves the driver catches the expansion, generating a sysevent, relabelling the disk, and then having ZFS grow the device. I would expect the fixes to be in Nevada in the not too distant future. - Eric On Wed, Jan 03, 2007 at 06:06:28PM +0800, Tan Shao Yi wrote: > Hi, > > There was an old thread on whether ZFS can handle resized LUNs > (specifically from a NetApp filer), but somehow I can't seem to be able to > access the newly made-available space. > > In my setup, I have created a zpool from a single Netapp-exported LUN, and > a single zfs in this zpool. > > After resizing the LUN on the Netapp, "format" reveals the new size of the > LUN.
