Hey guys,
I tried looking for a way to do this, but most threads i found are for other issues. I'd like to do this without losing my jails/vms/backups etc.
I currently have this hdd setup:
1x 3TB hdd
1x 1TB hdd
Striped: 4TB
Used ~1.5TB
I bought 2 3TB drives, and the setup i want to achieve now is:
3x 3TB drives
RAID 5 6TB
I assume there is no way to somehow remove the 1TB drive from the stripe, add the other 2 and build a raid 5 keeping data intact. So i need a way to move all my data to external storage, build the RAID and move the data back.
Is there a guide on how to do this on FreeNAS 11 while keeping everything intact (jails, vm, shares etc)
Sorry for the possible noob question, I'd just really like to do this without losing all the work I put into setting this up! I should've planned better from the start...
Thank you for any help!
