If I were to decide my current setup is too problem beset to continue
using it, is there a guide or some good advice I might employ to scrap
it out and build something newer and better in the old roomy midtower?
I don't mean the hardware part, although I no doubt will need advice
right through that part too, but here I'm asking about maintaining the
data on 3 mirrored pools.
I have: rpool @ 2 WD 500GB (old fashioned IDE)
pool2 @ 2 WD 500GB sata
pool3 @ 2 WD 750GB sata
A total of something like 1.7 tb maybe 35% full of data
I'm a bit worried about whether with modern hardware the IDE drives
will even have a hookup. If it does, can I just hook the two rpool
discs up to two of them and expect it to boot OK?
I expect to make sure I have a goodly number of sata connections even
if it means extra cards, but again, can just hook the other mirrored
discs up and expect them to just work.
Not likely is my guess, so what about some kind of brief outline to
use for a plan of attack?
Would I expect to need to reinstall for starters?
