Destroying my pool then recreate with the same name will i have problems with samba?

[ethereal]

i will destroy the pool and recreate with 6 discs instead of 4 - the pool name will be the same.
because the pool name is the same will everything i have created still work?
can anybody forsee any problems?

thank you

How are you backing up and restoring your data?

Not sure. I assume you are asking if you have to redo the config. You mentioned Samba and Scrub. Even if it's not "the same" I would think reconfiguring those two would be relatively easy. No?

Right. What filesystem format? How are you transferring data to them?

Understood. By reconfig I'd assume the mappings in the config would still be there. Meaning you'd simply have to click into the share config and verify the path and click "Ok" again. (I use the legacy interface). Same for scrub. Probably take 30 seconds max.
