February 7, 20251 yr I am missing something painfully obvious and I don't know what I am doing wrong. I had two 4 tb drives that I called "media_and_movies" configured as RAID 0. I recently bought an extra 4TB so I wanted to turn my pool into a raidz1. pool th So I formatted all my drives as zfs, clicked on the add pool, selected the three drives, then found the setting for zfs1 when i clicked on the main/first drive. After I clicked start.. My pool is listed as 4 TB.. not eight.. Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong and reccomend a good video for setup? edit: i don't know if it matters in this case, but I am using Raid 7.0 (the newest update_ tower-diagnostics-20250207-1622.zip Edited February 7, 20251 yr by jclaydon1969 forgot detail
February 8, 20251 yr zfs is set at teh begin and cretaion of a pool its doen't support chanign form raid 0 or raid 1 into raidz1 raid 0 is also striping for speed, lose 1 disk data gone... raid 1 is mirror what one disk has the other has a copy/ zfs raidz1 is esentail raid 5, we straip and mirro the data so a file i split for increased reads between 2 disk a a full copy exists on one, lose one disk and you have the data.... raidz2 is the same except you can lose 2 disk and keep the data... review: https://unraid.net/blog/zfs-guide
February 8, 20251 yr The current pool is just one device: pool: media_and_movies state: ONLINE status: Some supported and requested features are not enabled on the pool. The pool can still be used, but some features are unavailable. action: Enable all features using 'zpool upgrade'. Once this is done, the pool may no longer be accessible by software that does not support the features. See zpool-features(7) for details. config: NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM media_and_movies ONLINE 0 0 0 sdd1 ONLINE 0 0 0 errors: No known data errors You likely create a new pool without first wiping the devices, if they were used with zfs before, you need to "erase the pool" devices first, or it will import the old pool
