Hi,
I am running FreeNAS-9.10.2-U5 on a small nas and I am very newbie to all this.
I have 2x WD 4TB disks which I believe I had set to be mirrored, but I can't really understand where to check if they're actually working like this (apart from seeing only 4TB available).
This has been working fine for a while, and now I purchased 2 more Seagate 4TB disks which I'd like to add and extend my current space (to have 8TB available out of 16 total).
I assume I'd need to do this in Volume manager, select the volume to extend and proceed from there. The submit button says "Existing data will be cleared" - I hope this is intended for the data on the new disks and not the data already on the volume?
Can you please advise if this is the right direction?
Many thanks!
