combine 2 raidz arrays into one so it appears to the system as one bigger pool

[coleas]

Hi

I read it is possible to have 2 raidz arrays in freenas to appear as 1 storage pool but havn't been able to find any documentation explaining how to do it.

I have freenas 8 with 5 2TB diska in a raidz array

I'm am getting a esata cage for 4 more disks which I want to use for another raidz array

thanks

Brett

No.
But you may add the four discs as "another vdev" to your existing raidz. You may even use the GUI to do this.

Hi coleas,

When you create the vdevs, assign them to the same pool.
