ZFS Pool replace disks to larger ones. correct procedure?!

  • Hello everyone,


    I use the ZFS Plugin for my disks. OMV runs as a virtual machine with a 10GB Virtual system drive.


    My data pool is a mirrored ZFS pool with 2 x 2TB disks.


    I now want to replace both disks with larger ones (2 x 4TB). What exactly is the way I need to choose to not loose any data?


    My Server has just one empty hdd slot.

    Thx to everyone

  • Hey that should be the same topic i have :)

    basically speaking, you take one offline, replace it by the new one and once reslivering (or however it is called in raid1) is done, you repeat the step for device 2.


    i'm currently in the process, 1 disk is changed successfully, but now two of the new ones failed due to to many bad writes.

    However smart selftest, even the extended one says, it has 100% health :-/
