Yep, using GELI the providers is much better. I decided to go one step further and run GLABEL on my drives so my ZFS pool will be immune from device enumeration issues (assuming I move the drives between systems, SATA raid cards, etc.) The only thing that sucks is that once I have attached all GELI providers, I have to manually kickstart zfs and mount the pool with the following commands:- # kldload zfs # zfs volinit # zfs mount -a pool: z state: ONLINE scrub: resilver completed with 0 errors on Wed Aug 29 12:23:52 2007 config: NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM z ONLINE 0 0 0 raidz1 ONLINE 0 0 0 label/0.eli ONLINE 0 0 0 label/1.eli ONLINE 0 0 0 label/2.eli ONLINE 0 0 0 label/3.eli ONLINE 0 0 0 errors: No known data errors One thing I also tried was replacing a drive with a much larger one using zpool replace. ZFS didn't notice the larger disk capacity of the new drive and subsequently didn't increase the pool size. What is the logic behind that?
