Operating Systems Solaris How to grow a zfs file system? Post 302993068 by drysdalk on Monday 6th of March 2017 01:58:55 PM

Hi,

OK. Well, if you're 100% absolutely sure you don't care about anything that happens to the data on that pool, then I suppose there's nothing you need to do about it.

Returning to your original question: firstly, I have to say I'm relatively new to ZFS myself, having only recently come back to Solaris on a regular basis. But from what I've learned thus far, the first thing is (as per the earlier advice from DukeNuke2) to figure out what kind of pool you've got. The Oracle documentation he linked you to this morning is also excellent, and covers pretty much everything you need to know in terms of how to add things.

So take a look at the output of zpool status -v oradata1, find out if it's made of mirrors, some kind of RAID, what devices are in it, and then once you know that you'll be able to determine the best way to add a device to it.

Since the ZFS file system is always consistent on disk and is self-repairing, zdb should only be run under the direction by a support engineer. If no arguments are specified, zdb, performs basic consistency checks on the pool and associated datasets, and report any problems detected. Any options supported by this command are internal to Sun and subject to change at any time. EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned: 0 The pool is consistent. 1 An error was detected. 2 Invalid command line options were specified. ATTRIBUTES
