For example, drives can be added to a mirror to increase redundancy, but that is not possible with RAIDZ arrays. After the desired layout is configured, click CREATE. A dialog shows a reminder that all disk contents will be erased. Click Confirm, then CREATE POOL to create the pool. ...
To remove a disk from that section, select the disk and click the left arrow to return it to the Available Disks section. After adding one data vdev, additional data vdevs can be added with REPEAT. This creates additional vdevs of the same layout as the initial vdev. Select the number...
When I wanted to replace my aging 4-baySynologywith a storage solution that was more robust and could handle more drives, I wanted something that was almost as easy as Synology’s DSM to use. Sure, I’ve done system administrations for years, but that doesn’t mean I want my home netw...
The only way to add more space is add another vdev (which h requires it’s own redundancy), or replace all drives in the current vdev with larger capacity. holy shit dude, I took that as a given, that you could add more dices. Hmm damn, that might be a showstopper ...

I'm ok with that. My end goal is to really not have storage be a bottleneck. Or at least, reduce the bottleneck here as much as possible. To quickly recap: Looking for suggestions on CPU/MOBO/RAM Single cpu, 256GB-512GB RAM, 1k max(ish) Networking and disk upgrades I have cove...
Disks: view and manage disk options. Importing a Disk: import a single disk that is formatted with the UFS, NTFS, MSDOS, or EXT2 filesystem. Multipaths: View multipath information for systems with compatible hardware.Note When using an HA (High Availability) TrueNAS® system, connecting to...
Hi, My system was running stable with the boot pool living on a mirrored set of flash drives. Recently one failed, and the other went to a degraded state and showed errors as well, so I decided to replace the flash drives with an internal SSD. I took a backup of the FreeNAS configur...
and no small sidecar files, a larger record size might be useful, though probably more for HDDs and raidz that for SSDs and mirrors. Short of switching to a platform which supports ECC RAM, the most obvious improvement to your system would be to replace the Mellanox NIC by a preferred...
I have smartd run them at the same time every week, and the dmesg output fully tracks with these tests hitting 90% or so, every time. If the disk resets during any activity on my zpool, or especially during a scrub, it will show up as errors in ZFS and need to be cleared/fixed ...
