Hi all,
I'm running in a problem which is really scaring me.
The fact is, I have a storage configured as RAIDZ with 12 x 3TB disks in a 24 bays supermicro chassis.. I was asked to upgrade this server adding more 12 X 3TB disks and then, doubling the capacity. But, when I executed the zpool add command, I just forgot to write the raidz in the command line. Like this:
I made:
Instead of:
So then, I add 12 x 3TB alone disks to my RAIDZ pool with no redundancy.
The question is: Is there a way to remove those disks from the pool ? Or, is there a way to solve this problem without destroying the entire pool? Since I don't have any other place to backup 30TB and then put it back again.
Thanks in advance,
Danilo
