This is waiting on the long-time-in-coming "block-pointer rewrite" feature which has not yet been added to ZFS in OpenSolaris (and there's very little information on it's progress). The standard process is: - configure new server - configure pool using new vdev layout - zfs send/recv data to new server - decommission old server Or: - take backups of server - destroy pool - configure new pool using new vdev layout - restore from backups -- Freddie Cash fjwcash@gmail.com
