I have a server with four 4TB disks in a mirrored array:
As you might guess from the device names, this is actually ZFS on Linux but I'm in the process of preparing to convert the server to FreeBSD.
Anyway, whenever I find a good price on some 6TB or 8TB disks, I plan to replace my 4TB ones with them. I've been trying to figure out if it would be possible to do this in ZFS without losing data.
If I have some 8TB ready to put in place, what will I need to do to replace my 4TB disks with them?
Thanks
