Greetings, all. I put myself into a bit of a predicament, and I'm hoping there's a way out.
I had a drive (EIDE) in a ZFS mirror die on me. Not a big deal, right? Well, I bought two SATA drives to build a new mirror. Since they were about the same size (I wanted bigger drives, but they were out of stock), I decided to mirror the still-good EIDE drive with one of the new SATA drives. When that was finished, I detached the EIDE drive from the ZFS mirror, and attached the other SATA drive. The first disk started giving a bunch of errors almost immediately, and the mirror is having big problems reslivering. I suspect I need to replace the disk. The problem is, with the resilver incomplete, I can't rely solely on the second SATA drive. How can I revert back to the original EIDE drive? I cannot attach it to the mirror, as the "master" is now the bad SATA drive. I also get an error saying it is too small (the drives differ by just a GB or two) when I enter the attach option listing the EIDE drive first. I _really_ don't want to lose the data in this pool. So, is there a way to blow away the new mirror (that's easy, actually) and somehow pull in the old EIDE drive as a new zpool without destroying the data? I can't see anything in the command options that seems suitable for this. Any recommendations I can try when I get home after work would be greatly appreciated.
