Thanks for the link! A nice howto
It's really so easy to extend the volumes, wow!
I'm also thinking about the following situation, though.. Will ZFS allow me to use slices instead of whole disks - that way I would be able to mirror disks that are not identical.
I have two disks - one 250g and one 750g. So instead of getting identical disks I slice the second one into two - one 250g and one 500g slices. The first slice of the bigger one is used to mirror the first disk, and rest 500g are used for some data that is not that important.
I was able to do this using gmirror in single-user mode, but don't know if ZFS would allow me to do this? Have you tried this?
Thanks!
