ZPOOL-ATTACH(8)

NAME
zpool-attach - Attach a new device to an existing ZFS virtual device (vdev).

SYNOPSIS
zpool attach [-fsw] [-o property=value] pool device new_device

DESCRIPTION

    zpool attach [-fsw] [-o property=value] pool device new_device Attaches new_device to the existing device. The existing device cannot be part of a raidz configuration. If device is not currently part of a mirrored configuration, device automatically transforms into a two-way mirror of device and new_device. If device is part of a two-way mirror, attaching new_device creates a three-way mirror, and so on. In either case, new_device begins to resilver immediately and any running scrub is cancelled.

    -f  Forces use of new_device, even if it appears to be in use. Not all devices can be overridden in this manner.

    -o property=value
        Sets the given pool properties. See the zpoolprops(8) manual page for a list of valid properties that can be set. The only property supported at the moment is ashift.

    -s  The new_device is reconstructed sequentially to restore redundancy as quickly as possible. Checksums are not verfied during sequential reconstruction so a scrub is started when the resilver completes. Sequential reconstruction is not supported for raidz configurations.

    -w  Waits until new_device has finished resilvering before returning.
