migrating zpool to new smaller drive
i have my zpool datapool created on larger 2TB sata drive which has only 100g of data , now we are planning to move to smaller & faster 300gb sas drive .. is there a way to migrate the data with out down time .. i have done this on equal sized drive by attaching the 2nd drive as mirror and detaching the 1st drive once mirror resilvering completes .. is there a way to do it to smaller drive with out down time ..
