I waited until the dust settled on 9.3 before diving in. My concerns were unfounded, a GUI upgrade from 9.2.1.9 went seamlessly.
However there was a minor problem when trying to use my new "64 GB" SanDisk SSD as a boot mirror for my older 64 GB Crucial M4 SSD. Turns out 64 GB =/ 64 GB.
diskinfo on SanDisk:
diskinfo on Crucial M4:
And that's why I was getting an error that the drive was too small. <smacks self on head>
Easy solution: install 9.3 fresh onto the SanDisk, import the pool, restore settings from backup, update, attach the Crucial drive and mirror it (mirror smaller onto larger). Should work, no?
Everything worked great up to the last item. When trying to mirror the Crucial M4, I get the following error:
I tried zeroeing the M4 as well, but I get the same error.
Do the devices to be mirrored need to be the exact same size or is this error caused by something else?
Thanks for any advice.
