Hi list,

some months ago I spoke with an zfs expert on a Sun Storage event.

He told it's possible to grow a zpool by replacing every single disk with a larger one. After replacing and resilvering all disks of this pool zfs will provide the new size automatically.


Now I found time to check that and I was not able to grow the pool. It's still the same size as before.

Maybe I missed one step? Or this functionality is not implemented yet?
Can you post the steps that you took? Output of 'zpool history' would be helpful.

For your info:

I tested this using VMWare and a Solaris 10u6



Any comments or ideas?
Did you export and then import the pool afterwards? This step is needed from recollection for the system to make the new capacity available in the pool. I did this about 3-4 weeks ago on a mirror and this step was required to make the change in capacity seen by the system. This was on Solaris 10 10/08 which is the same as S10u6.


Thank you in advance...


Tobias
