Is ZFS happy if the size of it's disc changes underneath it ? I have expanded a zpool a couple of times simply by changing the size of the partition and rebooting the machine - it comes up with the new amount of free space fine. Never tried it the other way though. The reason I mention it is that someone suggested glabeling a drive in an existing pool and using replace to swap it over. Which should be good I guess unless the last sector was in use. ZFS spreads stuff all over the disc as I unserdtand it though, so that might not be a good assumption, even on a fairly empty filesystem. -pete. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
