I seem unable to create a raidz consisting of mirrors neither can I attach a second physical drive to an existing one in a raidz of three single drives: # zpool create tank raidz1 mirror /dev/da0 /dev/da3 mirror /dev/da1 /dev/da4 mirror /dev/da2 /dev/da5 invalid vdev specification: raidz1 requires at least 2 devices # zpool create tank raidz1 /dev/da0 /dev/da1 /dev/da2 # zpool attach tank /dev/da0 /dev/da3 cannot attach /dev/da3 to /dev/da0: can only attach to mirrors and top-level disks # zpool upgrade This system is currently running ZFS pool version 28. All pools are formatted using this version. Kind regards, Paul Schenkeveld
