This should work fine: HP Microserver, upgrading a mirrored pool from 2TB HDs to 3TB HDs. At one point, the pool had one 2TB HD with 512 sectors and the other with 4k sectors (both in a mirror). Seems there was a bit of a performance hit, but everything worked fine. When I upgraded from 2TB to 3TB, the 3TB HDs were both 4k sectors: - poweroff - Exchange ONE 2TB HD for a 3TB. - Power on. Wait for resilver. - poweroff - Exchange the other 2TB with 3TB. - Power on. Wait for resilver. (My pool had autoexpand = off. I am using napp-it so I simply went into the Web interface and changed it to ON). 3TB, 4k sec mirror ready. Cheers.
