I have a pool (called, creatively enough, ssdpool) for my jails* consisting of a single SSD. I'd like to both increase the size of the pool, and change it to a mirror. I can think of two ways to do this--not sure if there's any reason to prefer one over the other:
* There's really no good reason for this configuration at this time--in my system, it goes back to when we could have VirtualBox jails, so the jails pool was also storing VM virtual disks. I thought it would benefit performance of those.
- Using the GUI, replace the existing SSD with one of the larger ones. Once complete, at the CLI (grrr....), add the second larger SSD as a mirror of the first.
- At the CLI, add one of the larger SSDs as a mirror of the existing smaller SSD. Once complete, at the GUI, replace the smaller SSD with the other larger one.
