September 3, 20187 yr I'm going to be building a server soon and I was planning to start off with 1 10TB disk at the start then get a second and a parity disk latter. My question is - Can I start with 1 disk then add a second disk later then stripe the data over to the second in raid 0 as if I started in raid 0 from the start?
September 3, 20187 yr unRAID is not RAID. There is no striping. That is one of its best features, since it means each disk can be read independently even if all others fail. It is possible to have btrfs raid in the cache pool, but the parity array is not RAID.
September 3, 20187 yr Author Ah ok my misunderstanding then, I thought that it could write to disks independently or raid 0. Thanks for answering my question!

I am not sure I understand your misunderstanding. It does write to each disk independently. Each disk is an independent filesystem which can be mounted on any linux system and read. Writing to disks independently is not RAID0 so I don't know what you mean.
