This isn't an option for me. The current machine is going to be totally upgraded,
New motherboard, new ram (ecc) new controller cards and 9 new hard drives. Current pool is 3 raidz1 vdevs with 4 drives each (all 1 tb) It's about 65% full. If i have to use some other filesystem that is an option, but i need to be able to use the 9 new disks to somehow backup the data on the FreeBSD 8.0 system, then destory the old pool, create a new pool using the same drives in Opensolaris with the new motherboard/controillers/memory and copy the data to the new pool Afterward i intend to create more vdevs (i haven't decided which way to go yet....i could either do 5 4 disk raidz vdevs, 4 5 disk raidz vdevs or maybe something weird like 2 7 disk raidz vdevs with 1 6 disk raidz vdev....i don't know yet....but that's beside the point) On Sun, Dec 27, 2009 at 2:07 PM, Austin <shyguy91...@atwelm.com> wrote: > I don't know how much progress has been made on this, but back when I moved > from FreeBSD (an older version, maybe the first to have stable ZFS) to > Solaris, this couldn't be done since they were not quite compatible yet.
