Striped poll consists of two drives as well. At the end, I should have #Raidz1 poll with 4 drives. Finally, having the same size.

"ZFS with a striped configuration can be more space-efficient compared to other setups like RAIDZ, as it does not require additional space for parity. However, the actual usable space will depend on the number of disks and the specific configuration used."

With this in mind, I started to migrate data from striped #zpool to #Raidz1

There was around 10TB of data to move. But after moving all that data, it took around 20TB on a two-drive raidz1. Some #BlackMagicFuckery

Started #zpool shinannigans. I'm switching from RAIDZ1 to Stripe storage type and want to remove two old, smaller drives. At the end, it should be one of those:

1. Same storage size, less power consumption, colder NAS, faster storage, and two empty drive bays.

2. Lost data, fire, and explosions.

Wie langsam können SSDs sein?

Diese beiden in einem #ZFS #zpool #Mirror so: 6,2MB/s.

Okay, die sind wirklich hart im Arsch.

Hatte gedacht noch was mit Mirror plus copies=2 retten zu können, aber nein, das kann wirklich nur noch auf den Elektroschrott...

This is a success, I suppose =)

@LordCaramac
You can exercise your #zpool / #zfs statements by building a small experimental zpool using files as vdevs instead of physical devices.

I wish to thank all the people that gave me recommendations for this new adventure of mine. I just created by first #zpool and #zfs dataset, and I'm copying over all the data I have on my “classic” mdadm RAID. After I'm done with the copy, I'll swap the relative place of the ZFS disks and RAID disks, and make the ZFS pool the primary.
