Hi,
I have 2 hardware RAID 10 array, 6TB and 4TB. Can I merge these disks and use them as 10TB with ZFS? Also if I add another 6TB RAID10 Array to the system, can I append this new disk to the ZFS pool and use as 16TB one large disk? Is this secure to keep data like that?
For example, that 4TB raid10 has 4x2TB disks. If I want to change these disks to 3TB and make the array 6TB, then can I update ZFS pool with this new array. I mean before, I have 6TB + 4TB then I pulled out 4TB and after that I added 6TB array. Can I do this with ZFS without any data loss?
NTFS can be expanded without data loss so, in Windows side, I'm planning to expand the partition when I add a new disk to the ZFS pool.
Also which one should I chose stripe or RAID-Z1?
Regards.
