I dont understand. The other hard drive connected to the temporary SATA port,
mustn't it be very big? I copy the entire old zpool to the temp drive,
disconnect old zpool and create a new one. Then I send from the temp drive to
the new zpool? The temp drive must be very large to hold the entire
Ok, so I could partition a drive into two parts, and treat each of the
partitions as one drive? And then I exchange one partition at a time with a
whole new drive? That sounds neat. I must format the drive into two zfs
partitions? Or UFS partitions? ZFS doesnt have partitions?
And another

The problem is this. I have 8 SATA port card. 4 of the slots (0-3) are occupied
with 500 GB drives in a ZFS raid, it is named ZFSraid1. I now want to buy 5
terabyte drives to create a new ZFS raid, which will have the name ZFSraid2.
How can I move the data from ZFSraid1 to ZFSraid2 so I can
