I was just wondering what would happen in a raidz array if one of the drives failed? I imagine everything would work fine for reading, but will I be able to write to the array still?
If I can write, does that mean that replacing the dead drive with a working one will catch up the new drive? I think this is where resilvering comes in, how long would it take to 'catch up'? And finally, if this is the case, is it possible to make an array with 3 drives, and then add the mirror later? I imagine this is extremely similar to the previous situation. I ask because I have 4 drives, but one of them has data on it at the moment that I'd need to put into the array before I can add the data to the array.
