I am looking to repurpose an old HP z800 as a storage box, I've been running Windows 10 on it, and it's built in Storage Spaces, the equivalent LVM for Linux. As I have moved to Linux (Debian) on my main machine, it makes sense my storage box should also run Linux. Ideally, I am looking for something similar to Synology's SHR, where it can create a storage pool over multiple different sized disks, and the ability to both add and remove disks, and resize up and (hopefully) down to make use of all available space on attached drives. I have tried virtualising DSM, but that leads to other issues. Other offerings like Truenas desire same sized disks and will only create a pool based on the smallest disk, IIRC. With that said, can I achieve any of this with Unraid? Can I use all the space on different sized disks to create a storage pool with, and can that be resized with addition or removal of disks? I am ideally looking to stripe, with parity. Thank you for any information you can share with me, and feel free to ask questions on any detail I may have missed
