Hello community,
I have FreeNAS 8.0.4 with 3 Disks x 1Tb configured as RAID-Z (ZFS).

Is it possibile to add another 1 Tb disk without destroyning the actual pool?

Thanks
Lucas

Sorry to say you can't. You can add drives to the zpool, so you'd have a RAIDZ + Disk zpool, but the amount of disks in a vdev (such as your raidz) cannot be altered..

Ok, thanks for reply, I'll backup the data, destroy the pool, and then rebuild it from scratch! :(
