Hi,
I'm testing various scenarios in a VM and trying to understand the ins and out of ZFS.
I created a bunch of 8GB and 20GB virtual hard drives.
I understand that ZFS is limited to only using the same number of drives that you used to create your original volume (3x8gb Drives)
I understand that if I want to increase the size of my volume I need to 3 add additional drives ? .... will adding 3 additional drives guarantee me redundency ?
So... here is something weird hat I can't find an answer for: Why if I replace drives "simulating a crash" with a larger 20gb drive, the size of the pool never increases ?
Thanks for all the help. I think FreeNas is awesome.
