I've got an 8x10TB RAIDZ2 VDEV, and I just attached 2 new 10TB disks to the system. Both disks show up, and I have the option to add them to the existing pool. This prompts me to create a new VDEV, but I'm told I need at least 4 disks to proceed.
Now that I'm on SCALE instead of CORE (which I have been running for the past several years), I'm curious if I now have the long-hoped-for power to expand the size of the pool and have it resilver across all disks. However, the online documentation assumes I know more about VDEVs than I actually do, so I'd like to better understand what's actually possible here in SCALE before I go out and by two more disks. What I'm looking for is to increase the size of the original pool.
