[zfs-discuss] Mirroring a zpool

2010-10-28 Thread SR
I have a raidz2 zpool which I would like to create a mirror of. Is it possible to create a mirror of a zpool? I know I can create multi way mirrors of vdevs, do zfs/send receive etc.. to mirror data. But can I create a mirror at the zpool level? Thanks SR -- This message posted from

Hi SR, You can create a mirrored storage pool, but you can't mirror an existing raidz2 pool nor can you convert a raidz2 pool to a mirrored pool. You would need to copy the data from the existing pool, destroy the raidz2 pool, and create a mirrored storage pool. Cindy On 10/28/10 11:19, SR
