I currently have 8 2TB drives in my pool which is giving me 7.8TB of usable data.
I want to add another 4 2TB drives for additional space.
When I initially created the pool, I went with the suggested options and voila, I had a pool.
Unfortunately, I have no idea if it is RaidZ1, RaidZ2, etc., nor how the VDEV's are configured
* How do I find out what my RAID configuration is?
* How do I find what VDEV's were created?
I started to create a new pool and put the new drives into that, but it occurred to me that it may make more sense to add them to the existing pool (less overhead for redundancy?) if possible. I'm not terribly concerned about performance, but I am concerned about data loss (I am currently backing up to another NAS, and I have a couple of large drives in a single-disk pool that I backup and rotate periodically.)
Thanks in advance for your suggestions
