Hi everyone
I have a FreeNAS-8.3.0-RELEASE-p1-x86 virtual machine running that serves as an NFS store for our ESXi hosts(It holds ISO images and some helpful install files etc). The server is setup with two drives. A single 2GB disk for Freenas to run on, and a 130GB disk for the NFS store.
What I'd like to do is expand the single disk to 200GB so that I have more room. I've done a bit of searching, but have only managed to find people doing it with ZFS raid volumes(Swapping out a disk for a larger one, and then swapping out the rest for larger disks etc). I haven't been able to find anything on a single disk setup. Is this possible? I'd like to avoid rebuilding the NFS store if possible.
Could I convert it to a mirror and then expand it that way?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks!
