Thanks for pointing this out. I still don't know how to see all of this in a home NAS context however. It would be really great if someone could explain.
Lets say I have 6 SATA ports. I have 4 drives that I collected from various computers that I now want to unify in a home built NAS:
A. 1TB
B. 2TB
C. 4TB
D. 1TB
E. -empty-
F. -empty-
Now all my drives are full and I want to either add a disk or replace a disk; How do I:
1. replace disk A. with a 4TB disk
2. add a 4TB disk on slot E.
- enneff 12y ago1. connect 4T disk to F, "zpool replace pool A F" 2. connect 4T disk to E, "zpool add pool E" Where A, E, and F are virtual devices (vdevs) provided by your OS. On my FreeBSD system they are da0, da1, etc.
- mosselman 12y agoThanks. There are a lot of complicated articles spread around which make ZFS seem very hard for some reason. This seems fine.
