I'm using opensolaris and zfs at my house for my photography storage
as well as for an offsite backup location for my employer and several
side web projects.
I have an 80g drive as my root drive. I recently took posesion of 2
74g 10k drives which I'd love to add as a mirror to replace the 80 g
drive.
>From what I gather it is only possible if I zfs export my storage
array and reinstall solaris on the new disks.
So I guess I'm hoping zfs shrink and grow commands show up sooner or later.
Just a data point.
