I was wondering, if I have vdev setup and I do present it to another box via iscsi, is there any way to grow that vdev?
for example when I do this: zfs create -V 100G mypool6/v1 zfs set shareiscsi=on mypool6/v1 can I then expand 100G pool to lets say 150G? I do not care about file system on the other end, I was just wondering if it works like SAN where I can change LUN size on a fly to whatever I want to depending on the needs... Yes I know, I can create mypool6/v2 which is 50G and then add it to pool on the other side, but I do not want to go this route. How about if I have SAN presented disk to my solaris server and I do increase it from 100G to 150G, can I update zfs somehoe to see it? I did run that and when I did issue format I was able to see my disk changed sice but when I did go to view partition I was seeing it as 100G only and no extra space available. Under UFS I had issues with such operations and usualy my UFS partitions were destroyed. On my Windows servers I can change drive geometry (add more space) and windows will recognize it... WOnder that do you think or is there any sollutions. Reason why I want to do this is to reduce amount of volumes/pools/luns that I have in my environment. Ah, yeah I can also replace smaller disk with larger disk, I did that in the past by creating temporary mirror and then removing disk from that mirror, virtually replacing disk with larger disk.. but as I said, on windows its handled so much better and I was seriously wondering if zfs gave us similar easy tools of expanding pools in this way.
