It would be unnecessary. ZFS can handle size increases just fine without any more than an export/import in most cases. The problem is that the OS doesn't always make it so simple. The label on the disk needs to be changed to reflect the correct size of the LUN, then any slice used on the disk needs to be changed to see the increase. Destroying the zpool doesn't get the label rewritten. You can destroy the label today, create a new label, then make slice 0 start at the same location, but encompass the entire disk. When done, ZFS should import and see the new space. -- Darren _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
