[zfs-discuss] Move rpool from external hd to internal hd
Hi, what are the steps necessary to move the OS rpool from an external USB drive to an internal drive? I thought about adding the internal hd as a mirror to the rpool and then detaching the USB drive, but I am unsure if I''ll have to mess with Grub as well.

Look at the ''installgrub'' man page. It''s rather straightforward, particularly if you''ve already booting off the USB drive. Remember that the boot drive can''t be the whole disk - you have to partition it, and then mirror onto the partition. e.g. if your internal drive is c1t0d0, you''ll have to use c1t0d0s0. -- Erik Trimble Java Platform Group Infrastructure Mailstop: usca22-317 Phone: x17195 Santa Clara, CA Timezone: US/Pacific (UTC-0800) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
