Hi, As an addendum to this, I'm curious about how to grow the split pool in size. Scenario, mirrored pool comprising of two disks, one 200GB and the other 300GB, naturally the size of the mirrored pool is 200GB e.g. the smaller of the two devices. I ran some tests within vbox env and I'm

Hi Matt, There is no easy way to access data from a detached device. You could try to force import it on another system or under a different name on the same system with the remaining device. The easiest way is to split the mirrored pool. See the steps below. Thanks, Cindy # zpool status
