If the device driver generates or fabricates device IDs, then moving devices around is probably okay.
I recall the Areca controllers are problematic when it comes to moving devices under pools. Maybe someone with first-hand experience can comment. Consider exporting the pool first, moving the devices around, and importing the pool. Moving devices under pool is okay for testing but in general, I don't recommend moving devices around under pools. Thanks, Cindy On 06/18/10 14:29, artiepen wrote:
Thank you, all of you, for the super helpful responses, this is probably one of the most helpful forums I've been on. I've been working with ZFS on some SunFires for a little while now, in prod, and the testing environment with oSol is going really well. I love it. Nothing even comes close. If you have time, I have one more question. We're going to try it now with 2 12-port Arecas. When I pop the controllers in and reconnect the drives, does ZFS has the intelligence to adjust if I use the same hard drives? Of coarse, it doesn't matter, I can just destroy the pool and recreate. I'm just curious if that'd work. Thanks again!
