Are you certain that you created the sparse file as the correct size? If I had to guess, it is only in the range of about 150gb. The smallest device size will limit the total size of your array. Try using this for your sparse file and recreating the raidz: dd if=/dev/zero of=fakedisk bs=1k seek=976762584 count=0 lofiadm -a fakedisk _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
