Hi Guys,
I'm trying to create a pool with 8 SSDs that I have. 7 of them are identical, at 223.57GB. One of them is newer and has slightly more space at 232.89GB.
I honestly don't care about "losing" the 9GB from the newer drive. I gain way more by having the 8th drive in the pool at the smaller size.
But the UI refuses to let me create the pool! Creating the pool at the size of the smallest drive is fine by me.
It also concerns me because let's say I leave out that 8th drive and just create the pool with the 7 identical ones. What happens in the future if one of those drives dies and needs to be replaced? That drive is NLA, I don't know that I'll find one identically sized one anywhere. Would I be SOL and unable to replace it with a larger drive?
See attached screenshot.
Cheers,
Jon
