I have a 3TBx8 raidz2 array (24TB, 18TB usable) which is nearly filled to capacity. As much as I would like to upgrade to 6TB drives or 8TB drives the 3TB drives are a better bang for the buck.
I was thinking about adding a strip to my array as is described here:
http://www.zfsbuild.com/2010/06/03/howto-create-striped-raidz-nested-zpool/
I only want to do this if the following points are true:
1.) The data that currently exists on my array is safe and will not be deleted during the process.
2.) The end result will be that my array (tank) will have 48TB, 36TB usable.
Can anyone confirm?
Thanks in advance!
