We have a freeNAS server up and running and so far it has been really awesome. But we're running out of disk space and will add in another vdev with 6 new disks.

My setup looks like follows:


NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM
Fileserver ONLINE 0 0 0
raidz2 ONLINE 0 0 0
da15p2 ONLINE 0 0 0
da16p2 ONLINE 0 0 0
da19p2 ONLINE 0 0 0
da20p2 ONLINE 0 0 0
da21p2 ONLINE 0 0 0
da22p2 ONLINE 0 0 0
raidz2 ONLINE 0 0 0
da0p2 ONLINE 0 0 0
da1p2 ONLINE 0 0 0

da3p2 ONLINE 0 0 0
da4p2 ONLINE 0 0 0
da6p2 ONLINE 0 0 0
raidz2 ONLINE 0 0 0
da7p2 ONLINE 0 0 0
da8p2 ONLINE 0 0 0
da9p2 ONLINE 0 0 0
da10p2 ONLINE 0 0 0
da13p2 ONLINE 0 0 0
da14p2 ONLINE 0 0 0


My question is are there a recommended way of doing this? I know I can do it from the webGui, but sometimes I find the webGui a bit flakey. And when I'm messing with my zfs that is the last thing I want. Would you recommend using the terminal before the webGui, or would you think i won't matter at all?
Any other pointers?

Thanks!
