I've done quite a bit of searching pertaining to this problem and it's seems like quite the doozy. I seem to be alone in my endeavors.
I currently have an encrypted volume with 4 vdevs - each with 2 mirrored hard disks. The hd's are 2TB each giving me a whopping storage total just shy of 8TB. I'm trying to add 1 more drive to each vdev, giving me triple mirrored vdevs (better fault protection). The gui seems unable to automatically do this, as it is only capable of expanding and not adding mirrored drives (I think).
Questions include:
Are the commands similar to creating a mirror on an existing single disk vdev?
Do I add the drives 1 at a time?
What about formatting them first?
What is the expected build time for each hard disk?
Also, I'm pretty sure I have need to regenerate my keys.
If someone could point me in the right direction, that would be great!
