Hi,
Similar to yesterday's thread https://forums.freenas.org/index.php?threads/upgrading-hd-capacity-and-migrate-data.26459 I'm kind of in the same position. My Windows home server v1 died and I built freeNas 9.3 with a single 1TB storage pool, mainly to evaluate it for my needs but I've added a few jails too which I'd rather not have to re set up as freeNas seems to fit the bill perfectly.
So I want to now add 2 new 2TB drives with some kind of stipe/mirroring (open to suggestions on what's best) and then remove the old 1TB drive (which is about to die according to SMART).
The mentioned thread suggests to use zfs replication, can I do this if the source drive is not zfs?
Or is there a way to add the 2 new disks to the same storage pool, convert to zfs and remove the old disk?
Very new to freeNas so not quite sure what the best approach to take is, any advice would be great.
Thanks,
Marvin.
