The pool is not redundant, so I would suppose, yes, is is Raid-1 on the software level.
I have a few drives, which are on a specific array, which I would like to remove from this pool. I have discovered the "replace" command, and I am going to try and replace, 1 for 1, the drives I would like to remove. However, it would be nice if there were a way to simply "remove" the disks, if space allowed. - Cassandra (609) 243-2413 Unix Administrator "From a little spark may burst a mighty flame." -Dante Alighieri On Tue, Jul 6, 2010 at 11:55 AM, Roy Sigurd Karlsbakk <r...@karlsbakk.net>wrote: > ----- Original Message ----- > > Hello list, > > > > This has probably been discussed, however I would like to bring it up > > again, so that the powers that be, know someone else is looking for > > this feature. > > > > I would like to be able to shrink a pool and remove a non-redundant > > disk. > > > > Is this something that is in the works? > > > > It would be fantastic if I had this capability. > > You're a little unclear on what you want, but it seems to me you want to > change a raidz2 to a raidz1 or something like that.
