I tried to buy another drive today (750GB or 1TB) to swap out c3t1d0 (750GB) but could not find one quickly. So I was thinking as a temporary measure to use my 1.5TB disk instead as it can be reused at the moment (is currently attached to a sil3114 controller - c6d1p0). Would it be ok to do a

Cindy, Thanks for the info and fixing the web site. I'm still confused why there are two different things (zpool and zfs) that need to be upgraded. For example, is there any reason I would want to upgrade the zpool and NOT upgrade the zfs? Thanks, Doug -- This message posted from

Hi Doug, Some features are provided at the pool level and some features are provided at the file system level so we have two upgrade paths. I believe the fs versions were originally created to support ZFS compatibility with other OSes, but I'm not so clear about this. I can't think of any
