original pool is not a mirror it consists of two disks concat. (SANS disks mirrored on SANS) Looks like attach will only allow attacment to a single device in a zpool and not to both devices. If I attach to one of the two devices it will grow the pool into the whole device and then I can not remove the other device. I find this to be a most frustrating problem with zfs and wonder if any work is being done to correct such a omission.
