Sounds like a reasonable idea, no?
Follow up question: can I add a single disk to the existing raidz2
later on (if somehow I found more space in my chassis) so instead of a
7 disk raidz2 (5+2) it becomes a 6+2 ?
No. There is no way to expand a RAIDZ or RAIDZ2 at this point. It is a
feature that is often discussed
and people would like, but has been seen by Sun as more of a feature
home users would like rather
than enterprise users. Enterprise users are expected to buy a 4 or more
disks and create another RAIDZ2
vdev and add it to the pool to increase space. You would of course have
this option..
However by the time that you fill it there might be a solution. Adam
Leventhal proposed a way that
this could be implemented on his blog, so I suspect at some point in the
next few years somebody will
implement it and you will possible have the option to do so then. (after
and OS and ZFS version upgrade)
