Need help restoring boot partition to newly resilvered rpool

[Meltz014]

Hi Everyone. I need some ZFS help. I recently got a couple new drives to upgrade my main rpool which consists of 2 drives in a mirror config. I was successfully able to rebuild the rpool with autoexpand by hotswapping in the new drives and resilvering. However, i forgot to copy the boot partitions onto the new drives, so now it won't boot. I can swap in one of the old drives to boot from and this works fine because there's still one drive in the rpool that's live. Now i'm stuck though because i don't know how to copy over the boot partitions without destroying my new rpool. I tried replacing in the old drives again but ZFS doesn't like it because now the pool is too big for the older drives (I'm not sure if it's possible to shrink down the pool size?). Anyone have any ideas on how i can approach this?

Have you still partitioned the drives correctly so that they contain 3 partitions, or are the entire drives used for the zpool?

Could you post the output of:

• pveversion -v
• zpool status
• sgdisk -p <ZPOOL-DRIVE> (for each drive in the pool
