That speed up surprises me. Can you explain briefly how that works? If that is a bit much to ask here, maybe a pointer to specific documentation? > Luckily, since you are using mirrors, you can easily migrate disks > from your existing extra pools to the coalesced pool.

Again, a documentation pointer would be good too. Is it wise to have rpool as the migration destination, making it the only pool? _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
