Hello all,
I'm and inquiring about a new setup I have built. I have 6 drives usable, and hopeing to configure in two vdevs under one volume. First vdev would consist of 3 x 3tb WD Red Drives. Second vdev would consist of 3 x 2tb WD Red Drives (That's what I had on hand). Both vdevs would be ZRaid1 so effectively I could loose 1 drive out of each vdev and be fine. I also do regular backups to offsite. My wuestion is how to set this up. Do I need all six drives installed to get the ball rolling or can this be completed with the 3 x 2tb and add the second vdev at a later date?
Using 9.2.1.6 release
Thank you for the help.
