Correct. You could export a pool that existed on just one of the slices, but it would be difficult to make that useful. You couldn't for example put slice 1 in a new machine and leave slice 4 here. > This also implies that the disk that receives the exported pool > has to be the same size as the exported disk, or can it be bigger ??? Hmm? An 'exported' pool remains on the same media, but is no longer being used by the host. So the media can be transported and connected (imported) elsewhere. It doesn't move the data to new meda (that would be zfs send or the like). -- Darren Dunham [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Technical Consultant TAOS http://www.taos.com/ Got some Dr Pepper?
