Hi all.
So if I get this right by reading on the forum and a few FAQ's, I can start adding a ZFS volume made out of 2 1TB drives, and then add 2 1TB drives at a time to this same pool, it'll be redundant? If so, in what ways? When one drive dies, what happens to the data and what will be my total size of the data?
I'm looking for expandibility but with some protection. Even a simple "raid-1" type of protection is fine. I have a hardware 8 port areaca-1220 card, but apparently it'd be easier to maintain with ZFS on freenas.
Thanks in advance for any help and expanation on how ZFS and the volumes/pools will work for my needs.
