Moving a pool

[csearle]

Hey guys I have an ambitious idea and was hoping to find out if its possible. I am planning to upgrade my existing pool with the Replace function in guy, from 2, 2tb drives to 2 4tb drives and would like to used the 2, 2tb drives for something and would like to copy a dataset from an existing pool and put it on the 2 2tb drives..

You should have no toruble expanding the pool by replacing the drives from the GUI like the manual describes, then use the 2 x 2TB drives to make the new pool and then snapshot the dataset and zfs replicate to the new pool.

ps you are using mirrored drives aren't you?
