You cannot add 1 drive at a time to a raid-z or raid-2z. You need to add the
same number of disks that were used per stripe.. So, if you start with 5 disks,
you would have to add 5 more in the future to add disk space. There is also a
method of swapping each disk one at a time with a larger

hello,
After csup, buildworld fails for me in libumem.
Is this due to zfs import ?
Or my config ?
Thanks for any clue, i'm dying to try your brand new zfs on amd64 !!

One option is you can replace all the existing devices in a raidz vdev with
larger devices, and then export/import the pool and the vdev will grow in size.
I agree that you simply can't add a single device to grow a raidz vdev.

You cannot add drives to a raid-z or raid-z2, period.

Hmmm... I definitely missed this one... I thought the documentation said
that using zpool attach would add a new drive to the existing raidz(2) and
then it would start resilvering...

Perhaps someone on this mailing list can shed some light onto some odd
zfs circumstances I encountered this weekend. I have an array of 5
400GB drives in a raidz, running on Nexenta. One of these drives
showed a SMART error (HARDWARE IMPENDING FAILURE GENERAL HARD DRIVE

Yeah, I am not sure what docs I was originally looking at...
Although we may want to ensure that the ZFS Admin Guide is a bit more clear
on the matter:
Additional disks can be added similarly to a RAID-Z configuration.

The man page is a little unclear. zpool attach is for adding drives to

Yeah, what I had been hoping (and to be honest kinda counting on) was that I
could do a raidz2 across the 7x250GB drives (which is not actually going to
happen since I am going to mirror 2 of them for boot) and then just add
another 250GB drive when more space is needed.
Realistically, I am not
Since no one seems to believe that you can expand a raidz pool, I have attached
the following output from solaris 11/06 showing me doing just that. The first
expanision is with like sized disks, and the second expansion is with larger
disks. I realize that the documentation only has examples

MC,
If you originally had 4 * 500 GB disks configured in RAID-Z, you cannot
add 1 single disk and grow
the capacity of the pool (with same protection). This is not allowed.

While expanding a zpool in the way you've show is useful, it has nowhere
