Hi there, Just got my hands on a copy of Nevada b27 and have started playing with zfs and zpool, and already have run myself into a corner. Is it possible to remove storage from a storage pool without using zpool destroy? Let's say I want to migrate from one storage type to another online, for example a mirrored volume to a raidz volume. If I create the volume with zpool create testpool mirror c1t5d0 c1t6d0 for example, I know that I can add the raidz volume with something like zpool add -f testpool raidz c1t2d0 c1t3d0 c1t4d0 is it possible then to remove the original mirror pair? Or maybe replace one of the mirror components with a raidz set? I was hoping that this flexibility was available to make migration from one type of storage array to another [u]really[/u] easy, something like start with old array and storage layout then zpool add ( new and shiny ) and zpool drop ( old and busted ) wait for i/o to complete and disconnect. Perhaps I am being a little greedy here :)
First impressions are that ZFS is excellent and I am looking forward to trying more and more of the features later on, congratulations to everyone involved!
