Currently I only have 1 disk in zroot and it's too small. So I would like to do the following thing, but I'm not sure if I need to do some special work to make the new setup bootable. 1. Bought 2 new, larger HDs. 2. Going to add one of them to the existing disk as a mirror and let it resilver. 3. Replace the small drive with the second drive I bought, removing the smaller drive. As I understand it, after this I will have the larger capacity, mirrored. But will this be bootable? Do I have to do something else to copy the boot setup over? Thanks, /Malcolm
