Is the idea behind leaving 1GB unused on each disk to work around the problem of potentially being unable to replace a failed device in a ZFS pool because a 1TB replacement you bought actually has a lower sector count than your previous 1TB drive (since the replacement device has to be either of exact same size or bigger than the old device)? - Dan Naumov On Sat, May 30, 2009 at 10:06 PM, Louis Mamakos <louie@transsys.com> wrote: > I built a system recently with 5 drives and ZFS. =A0I'm not booting off a= ZFS > root, though it does mount a ZFS file system once the system has booted f= rom > a UFS file system. =A0Rather than dedicate drives, I simply partitioned e= ach > of the drives into a 1G partition
