I'm playing a game of musical chairs with an old server with data, and a new server, and moving the HDDs around etc.
I have a server that had 2 vdevs, each 3 disks. I had bought 3 more HDDs to replace the 3 disks in 1 vdev then move the HDDs over, HOWEVER my dumb dumb self added the new HDDs as a new vdev. Now I have 3 vdevs, each at 3 disks.
What happens if I were to just take a disk offline from 1 vdev, do a manual scrub, and repeat that until all the disks in that 1 vdev were now offline? Would the data be resilvered to the other vdevs?
The goal is to use the old 3 HDDs (from the old server), into the new server, then transfer the data over, then destroy the entire pool from the old server and create a new pool in the old server.
Does that strategy work, or any other solutions?
