September 15, 20232 yr i know you can't do that with zfs (my current cache pool is zfs). but can i mix sizes with xfs? i currently have 1x500gb cache and want to add another 1tb to it. i don't really care about redundancy, there's not anything critical on the cache pool. i don't mind deleting the cache pool and recreating it if I add more drives in the future (which i'll probably do in a couple of months)
