I had a spare unused disc in the case, and just switched over to that, after partitioning it with gpart. ZFS is great, just have to say that. But I'm not sure about the correct way to bring the new swap partition online. Do I use gmirror label, as I did when I created it? Or gmirror insert? Or something else. I'm using the round-robin balancing algorithm, if that matters. Thanks in advance for your help. Scott -- sdb@ssr.com
