I'm using zfs not to have access to a fail-safe backed up system, but to easily manage my file system. I would like to be able to, as I buy new harddrives, just to be able to replace the old ones. I'm very environmentally concious, so I don't want to leave old drives in there to consume power as they've already been replaced by larger ones. However, ZFS doesn't currently let me detach a non-mirrored device. Is this planned for the future at all? I would imagine something like this:
zpool detach --non-mirrored dev ... detaching non-mirrored dev... wait for data to be copied or even zpool detach --non-mirrored dev ... detaching non-mirrored dev... there's not sufficient space to be able to remove dev etc. I hope my explanation is clear in that obviously the data would have to be copied, possibly to the new drive I've added, as I want to remove the old one. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
