I'm getting close to what I wanted to setup, but in the course of all my
bumping around, experimenting and pestering these lists to death, I've
ended up with zpool on a partition.
But first let me thank this list for your tolerance and patience.
Its a 60gb disk, that I had partitioned something like 25/35gb with the
OS on the 25.
My aim all along was building a home NAS server with zfs and I have
that part on 3 500gb disks.
So what should I do with disk holding the OS?
Is it a problem using a partitioned disk with zfs?
I see this message about the disk in question.
# zpool status
pool: rpool
state: ONLINE
status: The pool is formatted using an older on-disk format. The
pool can still be used, but some features are unavailable.
action: Upgrade the pool using 'zpool upgrade'. Once this is done,
the pool will no longer be accessible on older software
versions.
scrub: none requested
config:
NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM
rpool ONLINE 0 0 0
c3d1s0 ONLINE 0 0 0
errors: No known data errors
Should I make the partition on the disk rpool is on encompass the
whole disk? I'm not sure how that would be accomplished but pretty
sure it could be done.
I mean not sure about moving the OS temporarily then putting it back
on the disk after the partition is made full disk.
I know the mechanics of the disk parititioning alright but not about
moving the OS around like that.
If I did that, I'd have the OS on 60gb disk... is that a waste of disk
space?
Is it better to leave it as is and use the remaining 35 GB for
whatever misc. stuff comes up?
