Hi Cindy,
I now suspect that the boot blocks are located outside of the space in
partition 0 that actually belongs to the zpool, in which case it is not
necessarily a bug that zpool attach does not write those blocks, IMO. Indeed,
that must be the case, since GRUB needs to get to stage2 in orde
Thanks for clearing that up. That all makes sense.
I was wondering why ZFS doesn't use the whole disk in the standard OpenSolaris
install. That explains it.

Cindy,
Well, it worked. The system can boot off c4t0d0s0 now.
But I am still a bit perplexed. Here is how the invocation of installgrub went:

/dev/rdsk/c4t0d0s0
Updating master boot sector destroys existing boot managers (if an

Hi again Cindy,
Well, I got the two new 1.5 TB disks, but I ran into a snag:

Hi Cindy,
Thanks for clearing that up. I don't mind rebooting, just as long as that makes
the zpool use the additional space. I did read about the export/import
workaround, but wasn't sure if rebooting would have the same effect.
The ZFS documentation convinced me to set up a mirrored pool, eve
Thanks, that's what I thought. Just wanted to make sure.
I guess the writers of the documentation think that this is so obviously the
way things would work in a well designed system that there is no reason to
mention it explicitly.

Maybe this has been discussed before, but I haven't been able to find any
relevant threads.
I have a simple OpenSolaris 2008.11 setup with one ZFS pool consisting of the
whole of the single hard drive on the system. What I want to do is to replace
the present 500 GB drive with a 1.5 TB drive. (
