Evening all, I'm new to Solaris but after drooling over zfs for ages I finally 
took the plunge.

First off I had 2x1Tb hdd in raid1 XFS format using mdadm, so using a 
opensolaris vm image I transfered one side of the mirror to the other in zfs. 
(using rsync and it took 3days!)

So with a 1 disk zpool carrying all my data I brought both the drives over in a 
new box, all going swimmingly until I realise that instead of mirroring the two 
drives it seems to have stripped them :-/. 

Is there a way to to unstrip them and or convert it to a mirror? The drive 
hasnt been written to since so I don't know if zfs automatically starts 
stripping the data between the drives. Even to a non-expert the process of 
making sure all data is on one disk doesn't sound complicated but I know it 
might not be impletmented (yet!)

Any ideas or will I have to get a 3rd drive to move all the data onto, destroy 
the zpool and start from scratch?
