Ok so this is my solution, pls be advised I am a total linux nube so I am learning as I go along. I installed opensolaris and setup rpool as my base install on a single 1TB drive. I attached one of my NTFS drives to the system then used a utility called prtparts to get the name of the NTFS drive attached and then mounted it succesfully. I then started transfering data accross till the drive was empty (this is currently in progress) Once thats done I will add the empty NTFS drive to my ZFS pool and repeat the operation with my other drives.
This leaves me with the issue of redundancy which is sorely lacking, ideally I would like to do the same think directly into a zraid pool, but I understand from what I have read that you cant add single drives to a zraid and I want all my drives in a single pool as only to loose the space for the pool redundancy once. I havent worked out if I can transform my zpool int a zraid after I have copied all my data. Once again thx for the great support. And maybe someone can direct me to an area in a forum that explains y I cant use sudo... -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
