Total TrueNAS newb here (6 months) looking for the best way to do this...
Currently I'm at 83% (5.87TiB) capacity. of a 4 disk twin Vdev Mirrors (4tb ea):
I want to convert to a 6 disk RaidZ1. Bumping my recommended capacity from 5.7Gb to 13.46Gb.
I have access to a remote (500+ Mbps speed) TrueNAS Server with plenty of storage, or a local TrueNAS server (old Dell Poweredge w/SAS drives only expandable to 4.1TB) and about 3.5 of local storage on my regular machine.
What options do I have to moving my content and/or keeping the datasets intact? Or is it best to just best to backup the data wherever I can and rebuild each dataset from scratch?
ANY help would be greatly appreciated, even if it's just a 'search the forums a bit further, you'll find the answer' lol
Thanks,
Marvin J
