Hello everybody, I have a virtual machine with FreeNAS 11 installed on Virtual Box. I created that for doing experiments and learning to manage this OS.
As far as I know, if we build a RAID 0 with drives with different sizes, RAID would only take, from every drive, the equivalent storage to the size of the smallest drive.
However, I made some experiments and I achieved:
- Create a RAID 0 with two different volumes. The storage of the RAID 0 is the total sum of the two drives.
- Expand a RAID 0 originally composed by two drives and add up the total storage of a third drive.
How is that possible?
