[OpenIndiana-discuss] moving existing rpool onto larger disks, in-place: zpool/zfs ashift/blocksize musings

2012-05-14 Thread Hans J. Albertsson
I have an OI151a4 system with old 500GB disks in a mirrored pair for the rpool, and no further disks. For various reasons I'd like to expand the available space by replacing the 500GB disks with 2TB disks. I'd like to do this IN-PLACE, but I see a few problems in that the new disks are

If you can add the third disk, why not do a zfs send/receive to put it down on the new disk with a new rpool name. Then you can just move the disk around (or the bios settings) and do a little magic to boot to the new disk. On Mon, May 14, 2012 at 7:00 AM, Hans J. Albertsson

I'm looking for a bit of best practice advice. On Windows systems I usually create a job runner account with the correct permissions to run batch scripts when they need to be scheduled, so the jobs aren't tied to specific users whose passwords will change. So in OI, I have a similar need, to run

Agreed, the best practices on Windows boxes should be the same as the best practices on NIX systems. A service account with rights to do its one job, and as little else as possible. Accounts for services should be created the same way that user accuonts are. Make them able to do the least amount
