[zfs-discuss] RAID Failure Calculator (for 8x 2TB RAIDZ)

2011-02-06 Thread Matthew Angelo

Assuming I have a zpool which consists of a simple 2 disk mirror. How do I attach a third disk (disk3) to this zpool to mirror the existing data? Then split this mirror and remove disk0 and disk1, leaving a single disk zpool which consist of the new disk3. AKA. Online data migration.
