The pools don't have to be the same. I wouldn't consider dedup as you'll have to recreate the pool if it turns out the the dedup performance is pathetic. On a system that hasn't been created with dedup in mind that seems rather likely. > Any ideas? Your whole procedure seems a bit complicated to me. Why don't you use "zpool replace"?
