I have an older (2-3 years) NAS running FreeNAS. I figured its time to upgrade some of the hard drives. Here's the current status:
NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM
Pool1 ONLINE 0 0 0
raidz1 ONLINE 0 0 0
ada3p2 ONLINE 0 0 0
ada4p2 ONLINE 0 0 0
ada5p2 ONLINE 0 0 0
mirror ONLINE 0 0 0
ada1p2 ONLINE 0 0 0
ada2p2 ONLINE 0 0 0
The drives in RaidZ1 are all 1GB and will stay.
What's the best way to add 2 or 3 more 1GB hard drives to RaidZ1 and completely remove the mirrored drives, which are 500GB only, without:
* Copying the data to a temporary holding spot
* Recreating the pool
* Copying it back
The pool is about 50% full, so I'm not even sure there's data on the mirrored drives.
How to check or where to begin?
