I'm using opensolaris and zfs at my house for my photography storage as well as for an offsite backup location for my employer and several side web projects.
I have an 80g drive as my root drive. I recently took posesion of 2 74g 10k drives which I'd love to add as a mirror to replace the 80 g drive. >From what I gather it is only possible if I zfs export my storage array and reinstall solaris on the new disks. So I guess I'm hoping zfs shrink and grow commands show up sooner or later. Just a data point. Joe Esposito www.j-espo.com On 2/28/09, "C.
