So you've got a mirror of two 73GB disks and you've got an iSCSI lun which is 200GB in size. You should be able to attach that iSCSI lun and create 3-way mirroring and once it's synchronized you should be able to detach two 73GB disks. After you detach 73GB disks the pool should grow automatically. Make sure to use zpool attach and *NOT* zpool add. -- Best regards, Robert Milkowski mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://milek.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
