However, last time I checked there were no such easy ways to decrease zpools or increase/decrease UFS partitions. Or grow mirrored ZFS as easily as single zpool. Or (killer one) remove added by mistake vdev from zpool ;) Of course I'm not talking about real hw, rather virtual one. If you happen to point me somewhere to have such task solved I'd be much appreciated. > -- > Paul Kraus > Deputy Technical Director, LoneStarCon 3 > Sound Coordinator, Schenectady Light Opera Company > > -- Regards, Alexander Yerenkow
