This might sound sooo simple, but it isn't. I read the ZFS Administration Guide
and it did not give an answer; at least no simple answer, simple enough for me
to understand.
The intention is to follow the thread "Easiest way to replace a boot disk with
a larger one".
The command given would be
zpool attach rpool /dev/dsk/c1d0s0 /dev/dsk/c2d0s0
as far as I understand in my case. What it says is "cannot open
'/dev/dsk/c2d0s0': No such device or address". format shows that the partition
exists:
# format

To my understanding, there is no need to format before using a file system in
ZFS.
The "Creating a Basic ZFS File System" is not clear to me. The first (and only)
command it offers, creates a mirrored storage of a whole disk; none of which I
intend to do. (I suggested before, to offer a guide as well containing all the
*basic* commands.) I wonder if I really need to use format->partition first to
create slice s0 in that second (DOS)partition of c2d0 before ZFS can use it?
Thanks,
Uwe
