Hello,
Hope this finds you well.
I'm building a new NAS with 6 x 6TB drives, and want to be in Raidz2.
the issue is one of these drives is currently in use, and 5 new ones.
Is there a way to build a raidz2 with a missing drive (so it has only one redundant drive) > empty the one in use right now in the NAS > rebuild the vdev with the current drive.
because my issue is I don't have a place to hold the data in this drive right now. and from my research, it seems ZFS doesn't support expanding a vdev (yet...).
I'm new to Freenas to be honest, I tried my best to look this up but it was hard to look up this subject with it being so similar to many others.
Thank you for your time.
