Thanks to all for the replies.
I got a lot of stuff configured and running fine, so I am not willing to
reinstall for now :-).
I also thought in Partition Magic but it seems not to manage ZFS. So, I think I
will try to format the NTFS partition to ZFS and then add it to the pool.
If this is your root pool you can't make anything other than a mirror.
If the free space at the start of the disk before the existing ZFS fdisk
partition is the same size or larger than the ZFS one you should able to
get the following to work:
1. Add the current NFS partition as a mirror of the existing ZFS one:
eg zpool attach rpool c0d0s0 c0d0p1
1.1 Add a boot block with installgrub to the old NTFS side of the mirror
1.2 For good measure run bootadm update-archive (shouldn't be needed but
worth doing just to be sure)
2. Wait until 'zpool status' tells you that the resilver is complete.
3. Now detach the original ZFS fdisk partition leaving the one that
was the old NTFS partition
eg zpool deatch rpool c0d0s0
4. Now boot from LiveCD and repartition (just fdisk alone should be
enough) to delete the old ZFS partition and make the old NTFS one the
size of the old NTFS one and the ZFS one together. Making very sure it
starts in exactly the same place the old NTFS one did. Making sure it
is tagged Solaris2 not NTFS.
5. Reboot the system and the ZFS pool should have expanded to the size
of the original two partitions.
If it hasn't run 'zpool autoexpand=on rpool'
Note that this will only work if the original NTFS partition that is
before the ZFS partition in the fdisk layout is at least the same size
as the current ZFS fdisk partition for rpool. If it is smaller then
this won't work and shouldn't be attempted (though step 1 will fail).
