Hello,
I have outgrown my current 4-drive RAIDZ2 pool and have obtained a fresh set of 6-drives of larger capacity. The idea is to replace the old pool with the new pool but maintain all folder permissions and files. If this is too complicated, the files can be restored from backups but the priority is to maintain the existing folder permissions on all the parent directories (multiple SSH users have their own folders for SSHFS which would be a pain to set up again).
Since the drives are of different size and the pool config is different as well, I cannot replace each drive manually and resilver. Also, since RAIDZ2 does not support expansion, I cannot replace 4 drives and subsequently grow it to 6.
Assistance is greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
