This is what I've done so far. fdisk - Total disk size is 1943 cylinders Cylinder size is 4096 (512 byte) blocks Cylinders Partition Status Type Start End Length % ========= ====== ============ ===== === ====== === 1 Solaris2 1 1942 1942 100 partition> p Volume: cache Current partition table (original): Total disk cylinders available: 1940 + 2 (reserved cylinders) Part Tag Flag Cylinders Size Blocks 0 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 1 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 2 unassigned wu 1 - 1939 3.79GB (1939/0/0) 7942144 3 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 4 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 5 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 6 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 7 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 8 boot wu 0 - 0 2.00MB (1/0/0) 4096 9 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 partition> I then tried numerous variations of the command and kept getting errors like this one: $ pfexec zpool add rpool cache /dev/dsk/c8t0d0s2 cannot add to 'rpool': invalid argument for this pool operation $ Eventually I tried this one: $ pfexec zpool add rpool cache /dev/rdsk/c8t0d0 I think its working but aren't sure because it still hasn't finished after 1hr15. The HD seems to be getting hit fairly hard and iostat shows: zpool iostat -v rpool capacity operations bandwidth pool used avail read write read write ---------- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- rpool 49.1G 14.4G 11 56 747K 3.88M c4t0d0s0 49.1G 14.4G 11 56 747K 3.88M ---------- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- I'll let it run through the night and see what happens.
