Re: [zfs-discuss] Restore a ZFS Root Mirror

my hunch is you need to boot from live cd (in virtual box case, iso) and installgrub -m /boot/grub/stage1 /boot/grub/stage2 $diskB_root_slice Ivan. Currently grub hasn't been installed for disk attached to root mirror later. > Hi all, > > after installing OpenSolaris 2008.05 in VirtualBox > I

Hi all, Forgive me if this is a dumb question. Is it possible for a two-disk mirrored zpool to be seamlessly enlarged by gradually replacing previous disk with larger one? Say, in a constrained desktop, only space for two internal disks is available, could I just begin with two 160G disks, the
