[zfs-discuss] Exapnd ZFS storage.

2011-08-03 Thread Nix
Hi,

I have 4 disk with 1 TB of disk and I want to expand the zfs pool size.

I have 2 more disk with 1 TB of size.

Is it possible to expand the current RAIDz array with new disk?

Thanks,
Nix

You can't add the new drives to your current vdev. You can create
another vdev to add to your pool though.

If you're adding another vdev, it should have the same geometry as
your current (ie: 4 drives). The zpool command will complain if you
try to add a vdev with different geometry or redundancy, though you
can force it with -f.
