Hi folks.
I just performed the following actions to move my boot pool from external USBs to internal SSDs:
1. Inserted SSD1
2. Used GUI to 'replace' USB1 with SSD1
3. Waited for resilver.
4. Removed USB1.
5. Inserted SSD2
6. Used GUI to 'repalce' USB2 with SSD2
7. Waited for resilver.
The pool is now fully resilvered and online, however I get the following error:
I am assuming this is because the default block size of the pool was originally set when it was on USB flash disks with 512B block size.
So question..
1. Is it possible to change the block size on the pool?
2. If not, I will move it back onto the USB devices, then create a new pool with the SSDs and send the data - but then how do I nominate this new pool to be my 'boot pool'?
Thanks!
