I have a simple data pool on 2 4TB drives in mirror that were created with FreeNAS-9.3 a couple years ago. This pool has lived through many updates to the OS and is currently on FreeNAS-11.0-U4. There was even a failed upgrade early in FreeNAS-9.10 that resulted in a reinstallation or FreeNAS-9.10 and import of the pool and recovered configuration that worked well. Now the system is on FreeNAS-11.0-U4 still with the 9.3 feature flags and I'm ready to add 2 more 4TB drives to attempt to expand the pool. I am wondering if it would be better to upgrade the pool to v11 features before adding the drives to the pool? I am extremely green at FreeNAS and I'm not really sure about the method for adding disks to the pool either. I was thinking of setting up the new drives as a mirror and striping the two mirrors together if that's possible.
