I was playing around with my zpool yesterday, which has one raidz1 vdev (4x1.5TB) and, not really knowing what I was getting into, I added a non-redundant vdev to it (just a 1.5TB partition of a drive I recently inherited).

So now I have two raidz1 (?) vdev (raidz1-0 and raidz1-1). I'd very much like to get rid of this second one... pool is now showing as degraded!

Any thoughts on how to achieve this? Nothing has been written to the pool since adding.

you can not remove a drive from an existing pool.

i think you can convert the non redundant drive to a mirror vdev however.

Ah! Thanks, kinda feared that.

How would I go about converting to a mirror!?
