Hi,
I just upgraded to 9.1 and was curious if I could add an extra drive to my zfs volume. The user guide seems to imply that I can, but want some confirmation first.
So my setup is
3 x 2TB drives
12 GB RAM
RAIDZ1 (I think)
Can I add another 2TB drive into it seamlessly using the 'Extending a ZFS Volume' section of the user guide?It's just that i thoughht raidZ1 worked better with an odd number of drives, and i seem to remember reading somewhere when i initially set it up that you cant add to it (although that was a couple of years ago). So have things changed now, can i just plug in a new drive and still have the same level of redundancy (i.e. support for 1 disk failing)??
Also, I think I set up raidz1 but my memory's a little hazy... how can i check?
Thanks
