This question is an extension of my previous question regarding extending/expanding a volume.
I currently have 4TBx10 RaidZ2 vdev and volume in a 20 bay server. I will be creating a new 8TBx10 RaidZ2 vdev to fill the empty 10 bays. The question is this (and I know that an answer might be "it depends"): Is it more efficient/better to extend my current volume with this new vdev, or create a new vdev? Is more information required before a reasonable and rational response can be made?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
