Richard already addressed this process, but I do this basic concept all the time (moving to a larger disk or new computer). I simply create the partition on the new disk with format, then "zpool attach -f" the larger drive. Once done mirroring, use installgrub as normal. Remove the smaller drive and you're done. You get the new, larger capacity in my experience. I've done this several times without an issue.
This is a bit of an abbreviation, but don't overthink it. I've also used this to migrate to a new computer with larger disks. The only caveat I've run into is you need to move from SATA/AHCI to the same, or SATA/IDE to the same. They can be different controllers, but for me they have to match their AHCI mode. I'm sure someone has a method to address that issue. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
