I'm working on increasing the storage on my Truenas system. Currently I'm running 3 x 2 TB WD Red and want to add 3 x 4 TB WD Red. I've perused the forum and some help articles and have some questions about how best to proceed. I can't create a single pool with the different drive sizes, right? But can I create multiple pools under the same filesystem? Would it be best/possible to shutdown the system, install the new drives and build out a "new system" and then add the old drives, recover the data, and then rebuild the old drives? Only other option I can think of is to replace the old drives one at a time and wait for the resilvering to take place (been there, done that when I upgraded from 1 TB to 2 TB drives, rather not do it again.)
My system is the home of my plex server as well as a few VM's. I'm ok with building out a new plex server and just copying the data over (would probably solve some other problems I'm having).
