As other''s have noted, no, not until the mythical bp_rewrite() function
is introduced.
So far I have found no documentation on bp_rewrite(), other than it is the
solution to evacuating a vdev, restriping a vdev, defragmenting a vdev, solving
world hunger and bringing peace to the Middle East.
If you search the forums you will find all sorts of discussion around this
evasive feature, but nothing concrete. I think it''s hiding behind the
unicorn located at the end of the rainbow.
With Oracle withdrawing/inhousing/whatever development, it''s a safe bet
that bp_rewrite() now rests in the hands of the community, possibly to be born
in Nexenta-land.
Maybe it''s time for me to quit whining, dust off my K&R book and
get to work on the weekends coming up with an honest implementation plan.
Anyone want to join a task force for getting bp_rewrite() implemented as a
community effort?
