You can move root pools, I did it yesterday from a single 160GB drive to mirrored 120GB drives. You can't move them to anything other than a single disk or N-way mirror. No raidz, no striped sets. If a disk is failing, you can connect a new disk to the system and do a zpool replace, which will resilver the new drive with the data. Or you can attach a new drive to the pool to make a mirror. -B -- Brandon High : bh...@freaks.com _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
