It's got a larger gpart partition, and I want to grow the zpool = into it.

I've sussed it: # zpool online -e void gpt/disk0 # zpool list NAME SIZE ALLOC FREE CAP DEDUP HEALTH ALTROOT void 226G 112G 114G 49% 1.00x ONLINE - So, is it a bug that autoexpand doesn't work on zpools? Glad to have got it working, I was down to my last 10G! :) Joe
