Hi there,
I have two ZFS volumes on my FreeNAS box. One of them is a standard spinning disk RaidZ2 volume for all of my data. The other one is a 32GB SSD in "stripe" mode that I use just for my jails. I didn't do a good job of predicting how much metadata / media thumbnails / etc that Plex needs so my 32GB stripe SSD is now 90% full. The single dataset on my SSD volume is set as the root dataset for the jails. I'd like to pop in a 128GB SSD and migrate everything over and have that be a replacement... Is that even possible?
Another alternative would be to pop in a new disk, create a new stripe volume, and change the jail root, but what would that do, as there is no data on the new destination jail root...
It seems like the most simple option, but least "elegant" from a hardware perspective, would be to grab a second SSD, pop it in the box, and extend the current volume... Would rather just replace the drive w/ a larger one though. Thanks in advance!
