Oh. I thought he meant he will detach a drive, replace it with a larger drive, resilver, then detach the first drive, replace it with a larger drive, and resilver. This would certainly be the desirable way to expand the pool. Or create another pool, and migrate some of the data out of rpool. To me, 40G rpool sounds kind of large. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
