[zfs-discuss] moving rppol in laptop to spare SSD drive.

2010-09-19 Thread Steve Arkley
Hello folks,

I ordered a bunch of 128Gb SSD's the other day, placed 2 in PC, another in a 
windoz laptop and I thought I'd place one in my opensolaris laptop, should be 
straightforward or so I thought.

The problem I seem to be running into is that the partition the rpool is on is 
130Gb, SSD once sliced up is only about 120Gb.

I pulled the main disk from the latop and put it in a caddy, put the new ssd in 
the drive bay and booted from cdrom.

I imported the rpool and created an altpool on the ssd drive.

zfs pool list shows both pools.
altpool size 119G avail 119G
rpool size 130G used 70G

I created a snapshot of the rpool and tried to send it to the other disk but it 
fails with file too large.

zfs send -R rp...@backup  altpool
warning: cannot send 'rpool/bu...@backup': file too large.

is there anyway to get the data over onto the other drive at all?

Thanks Steve.

Doh,

Why didn't I think of that cheers Mark, some time the most obvious options get 
completely passed by, alt boot environment it is.

Thanks Steve.
