Hi guys
I am in the process of upgrading my ZFS raidz 3x 4TB array into 5TB disks... I have plugged in the new disk and 'replaced' via the web gui
This seems to work, but what is the difference of using 'replace' (it idles the old drive and starts resilvering the new disk) and plainly removing one old disk from array, then plugging in the new disk in its place?
is the 'replace' method safer since all data is left on the old disk, while the new disk is being resilvered?
