It's got a larger gpart partition, and I want to grow the zpool into it. I've got remote console access, but the system has the root disk on the same zfs pool, so I can't simply export and reimport the pool from single user mode. :/ Any ideas on how to achieve this then? > > Ok, so it looks like zpool has an autoexpand setting... I've switched it on, but it hasn't expanded. Perhaps it only expands when it's loaded? Another reboot in order then..... Ah, no, that didn't work. It's still the same size: # zpool get all void NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE void size 126G - void capacity 89% - void altroot - default void health ONLINE - void guid 10894823139123390159 default void version 28 default void bootfs void local void delegation on default void autoreplace off default void cachefile - default void failmode wait default void listsnapshots off default void autoexpand on local void dedupditto 0 default void dedupratio 1.00x - void free 13.6G - void allocated 112G - void readonly off - So, yes please, I could do with some more suggestions. Thanks :). Joe
