Assuming you have data you care about on the current raidz2 zpool, you should replace UP TO [2] drives at once. That way, you minimize re-silver times, while keeping all your data intact. If you replace more than 2 at ones, you'll destroy the array's redundancy, and have to restore the data from backup. If you replace one at a time, you'll have to wait for each to resilver before replacing anymore. If you don't care about the data, then, just destroy the zpool, replace the drives, and recreate the zpool from scratch. It's faster and easier than waiting for the resilvers. -- Erik Trimble Java System Support Mailstop: usca22-123 Phone: x17195 Santa Clara, CA _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
