Of course, if you take on with the idea of buying 4 drives and building a raidz1 vdev right away, and if you actually moved (deleted) the data from the NTFS disk, you should start by creating this new pool with a complete raidz1 vdev. Then you transfer (copy then delete) data to it from your current ZFS pool and only then you remake/migrate the root pool if needed. Perhaps it would make sense to start with a faked raidz1 array (along with a new smaller root pool on its drives) made of just 3 more 1Tb disks, so you would just recycle and add your current zfs drive as a parity disk to this pool after all is complete. As you see, there's lots of options depending on budget, creativity and other factors. It is possible that in the course of your quest you'll try several of them. Starting out with a transactionable approach (i.e. not deleting the originals until necessary) pays off in such cases. //Jim -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
