I actually have to move a bunch of files around anyway, so what I am planning on doing is waiting until tonight (hopefully) when I add my second raidz2 vdev and then doing the move. It's between two ZFS filesystems on the same zpool, hopefully I might be able to help force "rebalance" the data a bit (an idea someone had) - either way it's something I have to do, so I might be able to get some possible additional benefit out of it too :) also Cindy: thanks for the "add" vs. "attach" correction. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
