Hi,

I was looking at setting up a HAST volume that gets exported by iSCSI.
the HAST volume was going to sit on top of a ZFS managed zpool. I know
that using ZFS I can grow the size of a volume by adding more vdevs and
then any ZFS or UFS filesystem on top of that can expanded to
accommodate the extra available space (for example using "growfs" for
ufs filesystems). However as I plan to have a HAST volume on top of the
zvolume, then I would need to expand the size of that to make use of the
extra volume capacity. Is there any way to non-destructively resize a
HAST volume once the underlying storage has been expanded?

Scott
