My FreeNAS is currently configured with 3 1 TB HD in a RAID 5. I want to upgrade to 3 2 TB drives. Looking at the guide for 9.3 section 8.1.1 shows how to add additional drives and expand the pool. However, I don't want to leave the 1 TB drives in after installing the 2 TB drives. Is it possible to shrink the pool after installation? Would it be better to the put the 2 TB drives in as replacements to the 1 TB drives or will the size difference cause a problem?
Thanks for any assistance.
