Make a good nice old-fashioned backup to tape or so. :-) And verify it! ;-) 2. Split ur big-geom-device into two 2.1 by removing disks from the mirrors and 2.2 by creating a new big-geom-device (with big stripe and slice) 3. copy data from old big-geom-device to the new one. 4. destroy the _old_ big-geom-device 5. insert the free disks to ur new big-geom-device Increasing slice size of a gmirror-device should be possible via configure... But changing the stripe size of a gstripe-device is not so easy... :) -Arne --- __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
