Hi Arun Thanks for replying. Actually my intention was not to replace a faulty disk but to reduce the hardware from two disks to one disk. Please note that these are not production machines , I 'm just studying ZFS. These disks are on VirtualBox. -- Regards Basil Kurian http://basilkurian.tk RSA Public key : gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 41005549
