I have a 7x150GB drive (+1 spare) raidz pool that I need to expand. There are 6 open drive bays, so I bought 6 300GB drives and went to add them as a raidz vdev to the existing zpool, but I didn't realize the raidz vdevs needed to have the same number of drives. (why is that?)
My plan now is to, create a 5 + 1 spare raidz1 vdev with the new drives, clone all the data over to those, then wipe out the old pool and create another 5/1 raidz1 to add to the pool. Is this the best way to do the upgrade or am I overlooking something? Thanks for the advice! _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
