Hmm .. the only things that I am doing differently (as far as I can tell) is I
am using the web GUI to issue the commands and I am running it in a VM (using
the pre-buil ones available).
I will try using the command line and see if that makes a difference. Maybe I
wasn't waiting for it to
Thanks .. I stumbled on the export/import as a solution by acciden (see post
below). What confuses me though is that a number of people are reporting that
they do not need to do this step.

Hi,
I am new to Solaris, but intrigued by ZFS. I am planning to set up a home NAS
(SAMBA/CIFS on ZFS) with my rough plan being to boot SXDE from an IDE drive,
then set up a single storage pool with 4 SATA drives (2 x 250GB 2 x 500GB) on
a single controller.
My main concerns are redundancy
More info from the same guide, page 59: The command also warns you about
creating a mirrored or RAID-Z pool using devices of different sizes. While this
configuration is allowed, mismatched levels of redundancy result in unused
space on the larger device, and requires the -f option to override
Hi,
Assume that you have a 2-way mirror of small drives that you want to replace
with another 2-way mirror of larger drives. What is the best way to do this?
If you use the zpool replace command, one at a time on each of the existing old
drives, then you will end up wasting the additional
Ahh .. so you end up with 2 copies of disk A, one on disk B and the other on
disk C?

I don't think that is correct. I did it 5 minutes ago and it didn't change the
pool size at all.
Here is what I did:
- create mirrored pool of 2 x 8GB disks
- detach one disk
- attach/replace with 12Gb disk
- detach second disk
- attach/replace with second 12GB disk
After this, the pool was
I think you can if you create a slice on the larger drive that is equal to the
size of the smaller drives (so 300GB)
If you just add the whole large drive to the pool, you will lose the extra
space.
**Apparently if you later replace both of the smaller drives with 2 500 GB
drives, the pool
Thanks.
I am going to try this (replacement with larger drive) again ... it sounds damn
handy and I am pretty sure I must have done something wrong ...

My 2 cents ... read somewhere that you should not be running LVM on top of ZFS
... something about additional overhead.

I finally got this to work, but it did not happen automatically. I needed to
export then re-import the pool to get it to work. Only then did the additional
space appear.
Here is what I did:
- create 4 x 8GB disks and 1 x 4 GB disks
- create RAIDZ pool with 3 x 8GB disks 1 x 4GB
- ignore
