This is what I've done so far.
fdisk -

Cylinder size is 4096 (512 byte) blocks

I then tried numerous variations of the command and kept getting errors like
this one:
$ pfexec zpool add rpool cache /dev/dsk/c8t0d0s2
cannot add to 'rpool': invalid argument for this pool operation
$
Eventually I tried this one:
$ pfexec zpool add rpool cache /dev/rdsk/c8t0d0
I think its working but aren't sure because it still hasn't finished after
1hr15. The HD seems to be getting hit fairly hard and iostat shows:
zpool iostat -v rpool
capacity operations bandwidth
pool used avail read write read write

I'll let it run through the night and see what happens.
Cheers, JP
