You're confusing lofi and lofs, I think. Have a look at man lofs. Now all _I_ would like is translucent options to that and I'd solve one of my major headaches. That I am. I have never used lofs, looks interesting. Thanks. -- Jorgen Lundman | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unix

Thanks for the response. I don't know enough about the symantics of the device IDs, I hope it does not change, and that maybe zfs will see that the lun has grown. Seeing if you can use use a file system or file as a vdev (and can't they change sizes?) then you'd figure it could do the same with
