Hi all,
I'm planning the storage extension of my FreeNAS (11.0.U2) running on my 36bay Supermicro Server. I've got one pool (83% full) which consists of two vdevs (10 x 4TB RAIDZ2).
I'm considering one of two options:
- adding one vdev to existing pool (10 x min. 8TB RAIDZ2) or
- create new pool with one vdev as above
Any ideas/input would be highly appreciated, do you see any pros/cons from one option to the other? Any other (maybe completely different) vdev/pool-design?
Usage is...
