[OpenIndiana-discuss] ZFS replacement problem

[Michelle Knight]

Hi Tim,

I don't recall creating them with slices; like you say, only the root
pool needs that, which was done because originally it had two SSD units
for root in another machine.

There was a bit of kerfaffery with other versions, but I do beleive I
copied everything off, then destroyed the set and re-created it ...

... but given what you're saying, I think I'm better to copy all the
data off again, blast the pool and re-create again using whole drives.

Many thanks,

Michelle.
