Can i convert my linear span to a raidz-5? I finally have enough hard drives, and dont really want to thrash them about refilling with the backup data that they need to be holding.
so currently, the command i built is not raid, but uses linear span
$ zpool status
pool: san
state: ONLINE
status: Some supported 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(5) for details.
scan: scrub repaired 0 in 7h28m with 0 errors on Sat Apr 2 02:58:32 2016
config:
NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM
san ONLINE 0 0 0
sdd ONLINE 0 0 0
sdc ONLINE 0 0 0
sde ONLINE 0 0 0
errors: No known data errors
can i add another 2tb, convert all theses into the raidz5 straight across, so my checksum and crc will all become worthwhile, without erasing my data?
