YAZFST: break and separately mount zfs mirror?

I

ian-nai

Sorry, this is YAZFST = yet another ZFS thread.

I know it's possible to break and separately mount the drives from a gmirror. Is it possible to do the same with zfs?

I'm looking for the ZFS equivalent to:

[CMD=""]gmirror label -b load mirror0 /dev/disk1 /dev/disk2[/CMD]
[CMD=""]newfs /dev/mirror/mirror0[/CMD]
[CMD=""]gmirror remove mirror0 /dev/disk2 [/CMD]
[CMD=""]mount -t ufs /dev/disk2 /mnt/disk2[/CMD]

I suppose that in some way this breaks with how ZFS approaches things. A zpool is a logical extension of a group of file systems and a mirror is a "virtual device".
 
I suppose you want to remove a drive from a ZFS mirror, right ? In that case just "offline" it and then "remove" it (if memory serves well).
 
Thank you both! I don't track -CURRENT so that's why I missed that tid bit. It sounds like not only are they implementing this in v28, but there are "work arounds" for v15.
