I'm new to FreeNAS, so if this has been asked a lot, please forgive me, but my google-fu did not really help me here :)
In the end I want to a striped mirror zpool (the zfs pendant of a RAID10) with 4 disks (I prefer it to a 4 disk RAIDZ2), but as a concession to my wife I will start out with a two disk mirror. Am I assuming right that I can, after starting out with a two disk mirror, simply add another two disk mirror after some time, and will have nearly* the same as if starting out with 4 disk striped mirror?
I hope I am right, because this would decrease the initial cost of my setup, but will not really impact my setup on the long run.
Thanks in advance,
Roman
*nearly because I know that all my data from before adding the second mirror will be on the first mirror
