a little bit easier to read: current condition: - 2x500gb disks striped, contains data - empty 750gb dan 1tb target: - 3x500gb raidz with third disk from 1tb/750gb originally proposed method: - create 3x500gb raidz using 500gb from 750gb and 500gb x2 from 1tb slices - move data from striped source to new raidz pool - destroy striped pool - replace one 500gb slice at 1tb disk to 500gb disk previously striped - optionally replace 500gb at 750gb (or 1tb) disk to another 500gb disk previously striped suggested method by Ian: - create 1tb pool using 1tb disk - move data from striped source to new raidz pool - destroy striped pool - create 3x500gb raidz pool using 2x500gb disks and 750gb disk - move data back to new raidz pool Using the former method will be slower because of using two components in one disk, increasing write load. -- O< ascii ribbon campaign - stop html mail - www.asciiribbon.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
