Growing drives of a Striped Volume

[sruel]

Hi,

I'm running a virtualized FreeNAS. I have a Stripped Volume on 8 Devices attached to the VM. I added devices over the time to grow the volume. I would like to know if I can only grow the drives / partitions and resize the POOL ?


pool: vol01

state: ONLINE

scan: scrub repaired 0 in 0 days 00:30:26 with 0 errors on Sun Jun 10 00:30:31 2018

Thank you

Just add another drive. Check the autoexpand property on the pool. If it's set to true, the pool will expand in size to include the available storage.

I would like to know if I can only grow the drives / partitions and resize the POOL ?

Only, as opposed to what?

You realize that there is no fault tolerance in the pool? If you have a single drive fail, all the pool data is lost.

If you had any fault tolerance, you could replace a smaller disk with a larger disk, but I am not sure if that option is available in this configuration.
