I am new to FreeNAS, and want to know if this is correct. I am trying to learn FreeNAS. I plan to build a Nas for my home theater, to store my DVDs and BR (ripped from the original discs).
I want to go into my mediaplayer and see on volume that is called "Movies".
Is it correct that the volume my mediaplayer shows as "Movies", is the zpool?
I have now 4 WD RED discs, ech of 3TB. And I want to add another 4 discs later on. Is it possible to make on zpool ("Movies") with vdev 1 - raidz1 (4 discs). And add to the zpool ("Movies") later on a vedv 2 - raidz1 (4 discs)? And this way add more storage to my "movie" volume?
RaidZ1 with four 3TB discs will leave me with 9TB and one disc can fail?
Sorry for my bad english, or if this is hard to interpret.
Best regards,
Øystein from Norway
