how does this affect my available storage if I were to replace both of those sparse 500GB files with a real 1TB drive? Will it be same? Or will I have expanded my storage? If I understand correctly, I would need to replace other 3 drives with 1TB as well to expand beyond 3X500GB. So, in essence I can go from 3x500GB to 3X1000GB in-place with this scheme in future if I have the money to upgrade all the drives to 1TB, WITHOUT needing any movement of data to temp? Please say yes!....:-) -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
