Hi All,

I'm a new ZFS convert (so far, I've only been impressed by ZFS) - I'm 
running it under FreeBSD 7 atm.

I've got to 'shuffle' all the underlying devices around on my raidz pool - 
so their device names will all either change (e.g. "da0" will become "ad4") 
- or the devices will get 'jumbled up' (e.g. "ad16" will become "ad22").

I've read bits and pieces about this - from what I've read, I need to do a 
'zpool export' on the pool, shutdown the system - replace the controllers - 
run it all up, then do a 'zpool import'?

The man page mentions, a 'zpool import' will search '/dev/dsk' or another 
directory I give it - here's hoping the FreeBSD port knows how to find the 
disks under /dev? :-)


Finally - if I do this and it all goes horribly wrong, presumably putting 
the old controllers back in place, with the drives in the 'right' positions 
- a 'zpool import' will work?

Cheers,

-Kp
