Optimal strategy (add or replace disks) to build a cheap and raidz?
...idz-pool without loosing
any data.
As far as i know there are two ways to achieve this:
- Adding 750 GB Disks from time to time. But this would lead to multiple groups with multiple
redundancy/parity disks. I would not reach the maximum capacity of 7x750 GB at the end.
- Buying "cheap" 8x250 GB SATA disks at first and replacing them from time to time by 750 GB
or bigger disks. Disadvantage: At the end i''ve bought 8x250 GB + 8x750 GB Harddisks.
My Question now:
Is the second way reasonable or do i missing some things? Anything else to consider?
