Re: [zfs-discuss] Mirror and RaidZ on only 3 disks

2008-11-19 Thread Ross

Suppose I have a single ZFS pool on a single disk; I want to upgrade the system to use two different, larger disks and I want to mirror. Can I do something like: - I start with disk #0 - add mirror on disk #1 (resilver) - replace first disk (#0) with disk #2

1) fix timestamp yeah, done that. But since this is our main backup for a set of maybe 700-900 users, these files periodically crop up and don't get backed up. It seems like a real hack to set a cron job to go around touching files... And a pain to keep monitoring and doing it manually 2)
