I'm in the process of setting up a new file server. When finished it will have 12x 2TB drives.
There is a small "problem" though. I currentley have 6 drives configured in RAIDZ1 and the other 6 drives are in my old windows server.
My plan is to just move all data from the windows machine to my new server, then remove the drives from the old server and add them as another RAIDZ1 vdev. This should be all good right?
But how will the performance be? Data already written to the first vdev will not bennefit the performance increase gained from adding the second vdev, no? How do I approach this? Will I have to re-write all the data?
