Re: [zfs-discuss] How to resize ZFS partion or add a new one?

2010-02-18 Thread Frank Thieme
Hi! I tried this guide as my setup was similar. I had a Linux installation (extended partitions) followed by a OpenSolaris (snv_132) installation. 1. Add the current NFS partition as a mirror of the existing ZFS one: eg zpool attach rpool c0d0s0 c0d0p1 This worked,

Frank, I can't comment on everything happening here, but please review the ZFS root partition information in this section: http://www.solarisinternals.com/wiki/index.php/ZFS_Troubleshooting_Guide Replacing/Relabeling the Root Pool Disk The p0 partition identifies the larger Solaris partition,

I am afraid I won't able to do that because the ZFS partition is around 50 GB and the NTFS one is 20 GB... I am thinking in another possibility. Format the current NTFS partition to ZFS and then I would be able to use this space like another disk, to store the user home for example, or other

Hi-- Unfortunately, you cannot change the partitioning underneath your pool. I don't see any way of resizing this partition except for backing up your data, repartitioning the disk, and reinstalling Opensolaris 2009.06. Maybe someone else has a better idea... Cindy On 10/13/09 06:32, Julio

Except that you can't add a disk or partition to a root pool: # zpool add rpool c1t1d0s0 cannot add to 'rpool': root pool can not have multiple vdevs or separate logs He could try to attach the partition to his existing pool, I'm not sure how, and this would only create a mirrored root pool,

My answer is incomplete. You can use the zpool attach command to attach another disk slice to a root pool's disk slice to expand the pool size after the smaller disk is detached. On Julio's laptop, I don't think think he can attach another fdisk partition to his root pool. I think he needs to
