Re: [zfs-discuss] Default 'zpool' I want to move it to my new raidz pool 'gpool' how?
You can't get rid of rpool. That's the pool you're booting from. Root pools can only be single disks or n-way mirrors. As to your other question, you can view the snapshots by using the command "zfs list -t all", or turn on the listsnaps property for the pool. See http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-2271/ghbxt?a=view for more info.

Re: [zfs-discuss] Default 'zpool' I want to move it to my new raidz pool 'gpool' how?
Thank you. I was not aware that root pools could not be moved. But here's the kicker, what if I have a single drive for root pool, and its failing... I connect a new HDD to replace the boot drive thats dying, ZFS has no way of migrating to a new drive?

I connect a new HDD to replace the boot drive thats dying, ZFS has no way of migrating to a new drive? There is a way. The way would be to add a drive as a mirror of the old one. The new drive should be in a position where the BIOS is able to boot from it. The new drive would have its contents resilved based on the existing drive. However, if the old one is already failing, that could be somewhat problematic. Once the new drive is functional, you can detatch the failing one. Make sure that GRUB will boot from the new drive.

You can move root pools, I did it yesterday from a single 160GB drive to mirrored 120GB drives. You can't move them to anything other than a single disk or N-way mirror. No raidz, no striped sets. If a disk is failing, you can connect a new disk to the system and do a zpool replace, which will resilver the new drive with the data. Or you can attach a new drive to the pool to make a mirror. -B -- Brandon High : bh...@freaks.com ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
