It should boot, although i havent run that configuration myself so cant say
for certain
have a look at gpart backup and restore for the labels, as you might as
well make them the same and expand any swap space across all four drives.
DOnt forget to install the bootloader as well
Alternatively you could just give the raw disks to zfs

Hi,
I have the current situation:
sdb@gigawattmomma$ zpool status zroot
NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM
zroot ONLINE 0 0 0
mirror-0 ONLINE 0 0 0
gpt/disk0 ONLINE 0 0 0
gpt/disk1 ONLINE 0 0 0
I boot directly from this.
This article from Oracle:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19253-01/819-5461/gazgw/index.html
implies I can add two more disks to the zroot pool with a
zpool add zroot mirror disk2 disk3 to get
zroot
mirror-0
gpt/disk0
gpt/disk1
mirror-1
gpt/disk2
gpt/disk3
My questions:
1) Will booting still work? What do I need to do to make sure I can
still boot up the system?
Perhaps related:
2) How do I use gpart to prep these disks?
The current mirror has the usual three partitions (freebsd-boot,
freebsd-swap and freebsd-zfs), with boot code installed, obviously. Do
I need to do that with the second mirror, or can I just use the whole
thing for a freebsd-zfs filesystem?
Sorry this was a bit long. Thanks in advance for any help.
Best,
Scott
