There's a version of ZFS includes a new *autoexpand* property that could be set on the pool. With that set, the available space will be made available automatically as soon as the last disk in a vdev is replaced. I don't know the exact version or whether it's supported in FreeBSD's port of ZFS. But it will be available at some point. :) -- Freddie Cash [email protected] _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
