You can't currently add more devices to a raidz vdev or remove a top level vdev from a pool, so you'll be stuck with 8 drives in a raidz2, 3 drives in a raidz, and any future additions in additional vdevs. When you say you have 2 pools, do you mean two vdevs in one pool, or actually two pools? -B -- Brandon High : bh...@freaks.com Indecision is the key to flexibility. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
