Thanks for all the replies. The bit about combining zpools came from this command on the southbrain tutorial;
zpool create mail \ mirror c6t600D0230006C1C4C0C50BE5BC9D49100d0 c6t600D0230006B66680C50AB7821F0E900d0 \ mirror c6t600D0230006B66680C50AB0187D75000d0 c6t600D0230006C1C4C0C50BE27386C4900d0 I admit I was getting confused between zpools and vdevs, thinking in the above command that each mirror was a zpool and not a vdev. Just so i'm correct, a normal command would like like zpool create mypool raidz disk1 disk2 disk3 disk4 disk5 which would result in a zpool called my pool, which is made up of a 5 disk raidz vdev? This means that zpools don't actually 'contain' physical devices, which is what I originally thought. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
