Hello everyone, I am slowly running out of space in my zpool.. so I wanted to
replace my zpool with a different zpool..
my current zpool is
> zpool list
NAME SIZE USED AVAIL CAP HEALTH ALTROOT
mypool 278G 263G 14.7G 94% ONLINE -
> zpool status mypool
pool: mypool
state: ONLINE
status: One or more devices is currently being resilvered. The pool will
continue to function, possibly in a degraded state.
action: Wait for the resilver to complete.
scrub: resilver in progress, 11.37% done, 10h0m to go
config:
NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM
mypool ONLINE 0 0 0
mirror ONLINE 0 0 0
c1t2d0 ONLINE 0 0 0
c1t3d0 ONLINE 0 0 0
errors: No known data errors
(yes I know its resilvering one of the disks...)
Anyway that is a simple mirror zpool, I would like to create another pool lets
say mypool2 with few more disks and use raidz2 instead... What would be my
options to do this transfer? I cannot attach to this existing pool disks, I don
tthink thats an option because thats mirror and not raidz2... can I create
raidz2 and just add it to mypool using zpool add option? and then when its
added
is there any way to remove originall mirror out of it? Now the tricky part is I
have lots of snapshots on that mypool and I would like to keep them... Another
option that I think I have is just create mypool2 as I want it to be which is
raidz2 and then use zfs send and receive to move data around and then restroy
original mirror when I am done replacing it with this one...
What do you think? what would you recommend? with the second option I probably
would need to take system offline and do it and I dont even if first option
would even work where I would just add newly created raidz2 to mypool and then
remove original mirror out of it...
Regards,
Chris
