I was afraid of that. Would there be any benefit to formatting my array drives in zfs as opposed to btrfs?

Quick question... I currently have 8 drives in my array. I'm wanting to pull 5 of them into a zfs pool (5 18TB drives). Due to storage limitations, I can't pull all of them at once. Is it possible to setup the pool initially with 3 drives, move the data from the 2 drives still in the array to the new zfs pool, then add the last 2 drives from the array to the pool? Thanks.

Any chance of getting exiftools added so that I can get it out of my extras folder?

Definitely understand... That's where I am. I just live without it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get the Dynamix System Temp or the Dynamix Fan plug-ins to work. I've pretty much given up on both, hoping that they'll work when 6.10 comes out of beta. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the response. I appreciate it. I went with the Gigabyte B550I AORUS Pro AX motherboard. I'm going to install the AMD Ryzen 5 5600G (if it ever gets here), and I installed 16GB (2x8GB) Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR DRAM last night. It has two M.2 slots and four SATA. I've read through the material, and didn't see any of those types of restrictions. It looks like I'm good to run all six devices. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi. I'm brand new here, and still waiting on parts to build my NAS. The storage that I've ordered is temporary, and I just wanted to run this by everyone and make sure that my plan will work. I'm starting out with two 4TB WD Red Plus drives, one for data and one for parity. In addition, I've got a 250GB Samsung 970 Evo SSD for my cache drive. My enclosure has me limited to four HDDs and my MB will support 2 M.2 SSDs. No problem there, if my plan is solid. So, here's what I'm thinking. My next drive purchase will be a 18TB Seagate Exos, replacing the 4TB parity drive. I'll move that drive to data. I will purchase 3 more of the Exos drives, one at a time, eventually removing the WD drives. In addition to that, I'm planning on upgrading the existing SSD with a 1TB drive, and adding an additional 1TB mirror for a cache pool. Does my plan hold water? Are there any problems here? Thanks
