Hi,
A while back I've set up RAIDZ2 with 4 drives only. Now I would like to get a bit more storage, and I understand that you cannot do anything to the existing VDev. My question is - if I build another volume, in a proper configuration of, for example, 6 drives in total and raidZ2, is there any simple way to just transfer everything from the previous pool while maintaining all of the jail / setup / paths etc?
I've spent fair amount of time setting it all up and I am quite happy with the result, I would not like to go through the whole setup again. I am not too keen on adding a VDev to the pool for extra space as I would like to get rid of the inefficient 4-drive Z2 configuration and re-purpose the drives later.
