However, you will need to make sure to reduce the filesystems, physical volumes, and disk partitions before you reduce the underlying volume. Vdev-1 = 6 x 4 TB drives in RAID-z2 (6 Seagate Exos drives - ST4000NM0115) The latest storcli (Megaraid's successor) can do this.

The three pools in this one system represent the three NAS systems I had before the consolidation. I have even put together some hardware just to test things out a time or two.įor a while I had three systems, all at once, at home but I am making some hardware changes right now and only one NAS is online. I made some mistakes along the way, learned some and I try to share some of those lessons learned experiences here in the forum.

This is the 8th FreeNAS unit I have built for home. This one was built in 2018, but I reused the name from a previous build.
