I currently have a 7x1.5tb raidz1. I want to add "phase 2" which is another 7x1.5tb raidz1
Can I add the second phase to the first phase and basically have two raid5's striped (in raid terms?) Yes, I probably should upgrade the zpool format too. Currently running snv_104. Also should upgrade to 110. If that is possible, would anyone happen to have the simple command lines to do it quick? I assume I'd be creating another raidz1 and then somehow growing the "tank" zpool? Does this make sense, or is this stupid from a performance perspective? Should I just have two separate zpools? Ideally I would like to have one massive data storage target. I'd be fine with somehow changing this into a raidz2 as well, I suppose, since I had planned on it being another raidz1 anyway. Or, perhaps I could add tank #2 as a raidz2, and then move all the data off tank #1, and then add disks individually from tank #1 until I have all 14 disks in a single raidz2? Performance is not an absolute must - I can deal with a little bit of overhead. Thanks in advance.
