can't started degraded, but you can make it so.. If one can make a sparse file, then you'd be set. Just create the file, make a zpool out of the two disks and the file, and then drop the file from the pool _BEFORE_ copying over the data. I believe then you can add the third disk as a replacement. The gotcha (and why the sparse may be needed) is that it will only use per disk the size of the smallest disk. > > This message posted from opensolaris.org > _______________________________________________ > > zfs-discuss mailing list > zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org > http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss > _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
