That is what we did on our first try. We are trying to set things up so that we do not need an outage. > metaclear only remove the configuration, not the actually data. Yup, and if you're not using any Soft Partitions it's even safe (if your careful). > This is not without risk though, the soft partition gap can grow > from one revision of solaris to another. so use at your own risk :-) We got bit by the change in initial offest from 5.9 to 5.10 (and later backrev'd into 5.8 and 5.9), thankfully we did not loose any data. We are _very_ careful when we work with SPs from now on. BTW, This morning I had my boss telling me how easy it should be to modify either the metainit or metattach code to change the size of a concat or stripe device on the fly. I told him to download the source and have the code ready for me by Monday :-) -- Paul Kraus
