Hi,
I’m running TrueNAS-12.0-U4. I have 2 pools of mirrored vdevs (8x6TB and 8x4TB disks). Due to my absolute failure to plan anything properly pool1 is at 78% and pool2 is barely half full.
Both pools started as 2 or 4 disks and as good hdd prices popped up I kept adding another pair of vdevs. I can’t currently afford new pair of disks for pool1, so I was wondering if it’s safe to do this:
Can I just disconnect 2 disks from pool2 in the Truenas UI and then import them as 5th mirrored vdev to pool1? It’s my layman understanding that by using mirrored vdevs and not zraid, I should get additional ~4TB of space on pool1 even if the other 4 pair of vdevs are 6TB, yes?
Thanks for any advice!
