Hi, I have 4 disk with 1 TB of disk and I want to expand the zfs pool size. I have 2 more disk with 1 TB of size. Is it possible to expand the current RAIDz array with new disk? Thanks, Nix -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
if you have 4 hdd then expand raidz is simple(from 4 hdd raidz) Sent from my iPad Hung-Sheng Tsao ( LaoTsao) Ph.D On Aug 3, 2011, at 3:02, Nix <mithun.gaikwad at gmail.com> wrote:> Hi, > > I have 4 disk with 1 TB of disk and I want to expand the zfs pool size. > > I have 2 more disk with 1 TB of size. > > Is it possible to expand the current RAIDz array with new disk? > > Thanks, > Nix > -- > This message posted from opensolaris.org > _______________________________________________ > zfs-discuss mailing list > zfs-discuss at opensolaris.org > http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss

You can create another vdev to add to your pool though. If you''re adding another vdev, it should have the same geometry as your current (ie: 4 drives). The zpool command will complain if you try to add a vdev with different geometry or redundancy, though you can force it with -f. -B -- Brandon High : bhigh at freaks.com
