Hey guys,
I'm in a situation where I'd like to move from ZFS1 to ZFS2. I had a single drive fail in my ZFS 1, which I've since replaced. It's made me a bit paranoid, so I'd like to move to ZFS2. Below is my disk setup.
Current 4 x 3 TB SSD set up in ZFS 1. Currently using 2.7 TB.
I've purchased another 3 TB SSD, to give me a total of 5. Given that I'm using very little space. My plan is the following.
I realize I have data loss exposure between steps 2-4. Is there another setup I could do that would mitigate this? I'm assuming not, but wanted to ask someone with more knowledge before I attempt this.
Thanks,
Todd

- Create a new volume with a single SSD
- Use ZFS replication to replicate all of my data from my Raid Z2 to the single drive
- Wipe my Raid Z1 vdev and create a vdev as Raid Z2
- Use ZFS replication to move my data back
- Destroy the single drive volume and add to my vdev Raid Z2
