Daniel,
What is the actual size of c1d1?
>I notice that the size of the first partition is wildly inaccurate.
If format doesn't understand the disk, then ZFS won't either.
Do you have some kind of intervening software like EMC powerpath
or are these disks under some virtualization control?
If so, I would try removing them from this control and retry the
add operation.

I notice that the size of the first partition is wildly inaccurate.
creating tank2 gives the same error.
# zpool create tank2 c1d1
cannot create 'tank2': invalid argument for this pool operation
Thanks for your help.

I might need to see the format-->partition output for both c0d0 and
c1td1.
But in the meantime, you could try this:
# zpool create tank2 c1d1
# zpool destroy tank2
# zpool add tank c1d1
Adding the c1d1 disk to the tank pool will create a non-redundant pool
of two disks. Is this what you had in mind?
Thanks,
Cindy

Hi Dan,
Could you provide a bit more information, such as:
1. zpool status output for tank
2. the format entries for c0d0 and c1d1
Thanks,
Cindy
