How to Change State Database Replica Size in a Diskset (Command Line)

If you want to change the size of your state database replicas in a diskset, the basic steps are adding two disks to the diskset, deleting one of the new disk's state database replicas, then deleting the other disk from the diskset. You then add the deleted disk back to the diskset, along with any other disks you want added to the diskset. The state database replicas will automatically resize themselves to the new size.

Example -- Changing State Database Replica Size in a Diskset

# metadb -s rimtic -d c1t0d0s7
# metadb -s rimtic -a -l 2068 c1t0d0s7
# metaset -s rimtic -d c1t1d0
# metaset -s rimtic -a c1t1d0
# metadb -s rimtic

This example assumes you have already added two disks to the diskset, rimtic, and that there is no data on the rest of the disk to which the replica will be added. The new size of the state database replica is 2068 blocks, as specified by the -l 2068 option. The metadb command confirms the new size of the state database replicas.
