Hi there - beware, I'm a total newbie so please excuse stupid questions :)
Ok, so here's the deal:
I have a PC with currently 7 hard drives, knowing that the motherboard has a total of 8 SATA connectors.
3x 1TB in a ZFS pool (somehow important data). the 3 disks are pretty old.
2x 3TB in a mirror pool (important data)
2x 4TB in a 8TB strip pool (not really important data)
I have also 2x 6TB brand new drives I just purchased.
The main issue currently is on the 3TB mirror, where one of the drives shows bad sectors since a few days and I guess it will soon die. I have shut down the server completely for now until I find (hopefully here) a good approach.
Ideally, I'd like to make a 6TB mirror and copy on it the content of both the 3TB mirror and the 3x 1TB pool, so that at the end I have the 6TB mirror (important data) and the 8TB strip (non-important data).
What would you guys advise to do?
Many thanks!
