Hello,
Right now I have a ZFS on root on FreeBSD 10.3. Currently I only have 1
disk in zroot and it's too small. So I would like to do the following
thing, but I'm not sure if I need to do some special work to make the
new setup bootable.
1. Bought 2 new, larger HDs.
2. Going to add one of them to the existing disk as a mirror and let it
resilver.
3. Replace the small drive with the second drive I bought, removing the
smaller drive.
As I understand it, after this I will have the larger capacity,
mirrored. But will this be bootable? Do I have to do something else to
copy the boot setup over?
Thanks,
/Malcolm
