With more than two disks involved, you might have the space available, but not in simple 1:1 configurations. For instance, it might be nice to create a "mirror" with a 100G disk and two 50G disks. Right now someone has to create slices on the big disk manually and feed them to zpool. Letting ZFS handle everything itself might be a win for some cases. -- Darren Dunham [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Technical Consultant TAOS http://www.taos.com/ Got some Dr Pepper?
