Added new drive and mirror it.

[ekelley]

I have FreeNAS-8.3.1-RELEASE-p2-x64 (r12686+b770da6_dirty) I have added a 1TB drive to the system. I already have a 1TB existing drive with data on it and would like to mirror the new drive to the old drive. Both of the drives are using UFS File system.

I dont see an option to add the drive to a raid can I mirror and copy all the data to the new drive without wyping them and re-adding??

From the GUI, no. From the CLI, you could use the instructions in the "Creating a Mirror with an Existing Drive" section of http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/geom-mirror.html. Be sure to have a working backup first.
