June 15, 20251 yr Hello, I am in the process of upgrading my array, I've started the Parity upgrade/rebuild first in maintenance mode just to be safe in case one drive fails during this.I have a ZFS mirror pool with daily data/shares I use, is there any way to have that accessible during this process or will I just have to wait a few days until it finishes?
