May 30May 30 If I add a new 8TB drive to the server, can I use it as a boot drive and then use any remaining data partition to add into the array? Or is data partition for use outside the array?

May 30May 30 Author @itimpi Supplemental question if I may!I have a 4 x drive ZFS Cache (Raid 10). Providing I move stuff off the Cache before hand, how would I make use of this current cache pool to implement an internal boot and use remaining space as a cache pool? Or is that not possible either?
May 31May 31 Author I thought that was the case. Thanks for confirming. Looks like I will have to use an additional license slot for a new internal boot - I don't want to split up my 4 drive ZFS cache pool just to avoid adding a drive to my license usage. It would have been nice if the size of the boot pool was less than 16GB or 32GB, that it wouldn't contribute to the overall drive count! Edited June 1Jun 1 by Bob_C MB > GB
