Yes, I am glad that I learned this lesson now, rather than in 6 months when I have re-purposed the exiting drives...makes me all the more committed to maintaining an up to date remote backup.
The reality is that I can not afford to mirror the 8TB in the zpool, so I'll balance the risk and just backup the important items like music, document and photo's. ISO's and DVD's I can always recreate. Thanks guys for the support. I'll do alot more reading on ZFS/datasets etc. befor I mess with the server again!...hmmm, actually, I just had a thought, I will also create a playpool when I can try out things before using them on the main pool. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
