Re: [zfs-discuss] How to create a basic new filesystem?

Thanks, Richard, for another clarification! I personally always considered your post as enlightening and helpful. Thank you! It was not my intention to step on anyone's feet with my remarks. I simply wished that there was a source of all that information that needed to be extracted from various

[i]If you want to add the entire Solaris partition to the zfs pool as a mirror, use zpool attach -f rpool c1d0s0 c2d0s2[/i] So my mistake in the first place (see first post), in short, was only the last digit: I ought to have used the complete drive (slice 2), instead of *thinking* that it is u

[i]prtvtoc /dev/dsk/c1d0s2 | fmthard -s - /dev/rdsk/c2d0s2[/i] Tim, I understand what you try to do here, and had thought of something likewise myself. But - please see my first post - it is not just a mirror that I want, the disk is of a different size, and so is the bf-partition. If I simply

Now I modified the slice s0, so that is doesn't overlap with s2 (the whole disk) any longer: Part TagFlag Cylinders SizeBlocks 0 rootwm 3 - 10432 159.80GB(10430/0/0) 335115900 1 unassignedwm 00 (0/0/0)

Re: [zfs-discuss] How to create a basic new filesystem?

Gary, thanks. All my servers run OpenBSD, so I know the difference between a DOS-partition and a slice. :) My confusion is about the labels. I could not label it what I wanted, like zfsed or pool, it had to be root. And since we can have only a single bf-partition per drive (dsk), I was thinkin

[zfs-discuss] How to create a basic new filesystem?

This might sound sooo simple, but it isn't. I read the ZFS Administration Guide and it did not give an answer; at least no simple answer, simple enough for me to understand. The intention is to follow the thread "Easiest way to replace a boot disk with a larger one". The command given would be
