I just want some confirmation that this is not a big deal. I understand I'll see a performance penalty since the pool doesn't have the correct ashift, but other than that is there any big issues?
I'm just hesitant since I'm going to spend close to 2K on replacing 11 drives. Ideally I'd rather build a new pool and migrate. I've done it before, but right now that isn't feasible.
FYI, I'll be first mixing 4K drives within a vdev (raidz2) but eventually that vdev will be all 4k drives and only the pool will consist of 1 vdev with 512 drives and this 4k one
