No. You can't replace disks in an aggregate that way. If you do, they will sized down to the size of the disk they replaced.

Hi toasters,
currently i am testing with my simulator and searching for a way to do the following:
- have a raidgroup with 5 disks - the two parity-disks plus one data-disk are 100 MB (net) - two other data-disks are 35 MB (net)
I want to replace the 35MB-disks with bigger ones, but everything i tried left the "new" disk in the raidgroup with a used size of 35MB.
Is there a way to replace a small disk with a bigger one and use the complete size of the disk without destroying the whole raidgroup?
Regards and thanks in advance
Jochen
