I'm running a 8 drive raidz2 server with freeNas 11.2U2.
I have been running a 4tbx8 configuration and I'm upgrading to 8tb disks. Each disk is taking a little under 33 hours to resilver.
Now the problem I'm facing is the 7th disk has about 32 hours to go and I've to leave my location in about 30 hours. There is no way I can delay my movement and I will miss replacing the 8th disk after resilver of 7th disk and hence the entire pool will not increase in size, which was anyways my motive for the upgrade.
My question is simple, should I start resilvering the 8th disk before end of the 7th disk? Theoretically 6 disks being upgraded should hold all data required to rebuild the pool. Also after 3 hours the 7th disk would finish resilver and I'll have the redundancy.
Has any one tired this before. I understand the risks, but again I don't Wan to sit a fortnight with limited storage.
I probably know the answer, but still would love for you guys to comment.
