Hello,
right now I am using a NAS with four Bays.
Three 4 TB disks as encrypted mirrors.
I would like to switch this setup in the following way:
1 zpool consisting of 3 mirrored disks --> 1 zpool consisting of 2 vdevs. Each vdev as its own 2 disk mirror.
I know that you cannot remove disks from a vdev but mirror-vdevs are an exception. ZFS supports the command
in order to do so.
I would like to know whether this is supported by FreeNAS 11.
A the moment I am running FreeNAS-9.10.2-U5 but plan on upgrading to FreeNas 11.
Can I do the following with the GUI or do I have to go down to CLI? Can FreeNAS handle this procedure via CLI on an encrypted zpool?
Best regards
Solero
