Hello, I currently have a raid1 array setup on Windows 7 with a pair of 1.5TB drives. I don't have enough space in any other drives to make a backup of all this data and I really don't want to copy my ~1.1 TB of files over the network anyways.
What I want to do it get a third 1.5 TB drive and make a ZFS RaidZ array (from what I understand it will have two drives for data and one drive for parity, total capacity 1.36 * 2 TB). I think what I need to do is get opensolaris and mount one of the drives from the raid1 array as an NTFS partition (because it is NTFS), and then create a ZFS filesystem on the new drive. Copy all the data from the NTFS drive to the new drive then add the other two drives to create a raidZ array making sure it copies the parity data from the first drive. Is this the correct way of doing it? What commands do I need to use to create the raidZ array from a single ZFS drive. Thanks. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
