Is this step really nessesary? The last time I played with this (using files instead of disks) all it took to get the extra space recognized was a 'zpool scrub'. I would certainly hope an export/import isn't needed, as that would take away one of the greatest gifts we have which is to be able to expand out pool on the fly with no downtime! I'll have to test again, like I said, it's been a while since I last did this. -brian -- "Perl can be fast and elegant as much as J2EE can be fast and elegant.
