I can vouch for this situation. I had to go through a long maintenance to accomplish the following:
- 50 x 64GB drives in a zpool; needed to seperate out 15 of them out due to performance issues. There was no need to increase storage capacity. Because I couldn't yank 15 drives from the existing pool to create a UFS filesystem I had to go evacuate the entire 50 disk pool, recreate a new pool and the UFS filesystem, and then repopulate the filesystems. I think this feature will add to the adoption rate of ZFS. However, I feel that this shouldn't be at the top of the 'to-do' list. I'll trade this feature for some of the performance enhancements that've been discussed on this group.
