Hi all!
I got a short question regarding data migration:
I want to copy my data (~2TB) from an old machine to a new machine with a
new raidz1 (6 disks x 1,5TB each ). Unfortunately this is not working
properly via network due to various (driver) problems on the old machine.
So my idea was:
to borrow one disk from the new raidz1 (leaving the raid in degraded, but
working status)
attach the now free disk locally to the old machine
create a new zpool on the "free" disk
copy the data over from the old machine to the single free disk
then put that disk back into the new machine
and copy the data over once more, this time to the degraded raidz1,
then adding the disk to the raidz1 again and
have it resilverd, so everything is fine again.
Can this work? How would I have to detatch the disk properly from the raidz1
without destroying the raidz? How can I reattach it afterwards?
Thank you in adavance for your help,
best regards
A. Drake
