Hi Folks,
I am just getting started with FreeNAS and in the short term, I wish to use some of my existing drives. I have about 2 TB of data. I have a 3 TB and a 2 TB HDD. I plan on purchasing a 4TB HDD soon.
I am thinking of starting with a 4TB and a 3TB mirrored to each other. As I understand, this would give me a total capacity of 3TB. In the future I would like to get to four 4TB HDDs in RAIDz2.
What is the process of adding more storage (4TB HDDs) in the future and moving to RAIDz2? Is it simply changing the setting in FreeNAS and the system will take care of everything? or something more involved?
