Hello everyone,
This topic probably have been discussed so many times, that you are tired of it. But there's so much information that I'm a bit lost.
I have an HP micro server 8, running Truenas Scale, with 4x1TB HDD in raidz1 that I used for testing and playing around. I now bought 4x4TB ironwolf CMR disks and I want to make a new pool with raidz2.
As you know, the server has 4 bays, would it be possible to offline 2 of the raidz1 pool old HHDs, replace those with 2 with 2 ironwolfs and create a raidz2 pool and migrate the data? And later remove the old hdds and extend the raidz2 pool?
How should I approach this? Data isn't important, I could just delete the pool and replace, but I want to learn how I would this migration to understand a bit ZFS and for future reference.
Thanks !
