Well, you can't make a vdev from other vdev's, so you can't make a mirror of raidz, if that's what you were hoping. As Cindy mentioned, you can split mirrors... Or you could use zfs send | zfs receive, to sync one pool to another pool. This would not care if the architecture of the two pools are the same (the 2nd pool could have different or nonexistent redundancy.) But this will be based on snapshots. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
