Hello, I have been a big fan of FreeNAS for quite a while and have been using (and learning ) in both home and office space.
My office has been running off 1 drive ( bad i know) but I have recently acquired two identical WD Black 640GB drives. I installed them in the machine and were recognized by freeNAS. When I went to try to "replace" the striped single drive with the two new drives as a mirror, I couldn't figure out how freeNAS would know where the data should be replicated. The reason why I am hesitant with the move is I need the snapshots kept, so an rsync from one volume to another would not work?
here is a screenshot of zpool status:
So I have extended the pool BLS to include a 2 drive mirror. Is it safe to remove the striped disk (gptid/59209a49-b0f8-11e3-ad94-001ec97a0998.eli)? What data is currently on the mirror?
Any help appreciated
Thanks
