Cindy, What you said would be perfect if i could just replace 1-2 disks at a time (think per month). What i might need to do is split the disks into multi partitions so i can use all the space but then again that wont work as you can not add to a raidz. Also are you sure the size of a raidz will increase if you replace all the disks? If the raidz supports disks of different sizes in the raid i would be set. I noticed some discussion on this topic but for now it seems like it is not looking good. I guess there just is not really any file systems designed for buget file storage expansion. I was really hoping there was a way. but even replacing 5-6 disks at once is too costly for me Chris This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
