I am trying to extend my existing pool but get this warning/error.
WARNING: Adding data vdevs with different numbers of disks is not recommended. First vdev has 8 disks, new vdev has 6.
You are trying to add a virtual device consisting of 6 device(s) in a pool that has a virtual device consisting of 8 device(s)
FreeNAS 11.2
Existing Pool:
vdev-0 - 8 disks RAIDZ2
New vdev-1 - 6 disks RAIDZ2
When I click "Extend" to create/add the new vdev it always prints the latter error and does not create. I thought you can add different vdevs of different device count (even though not recommended).
Any ideas why I am unable to add this new vdev with different number of devices?
Thanks,
Art
