Great videos. I had issues setting up permissions at 1st but after a few hours I figured it out. Is it possible to add a drive to your volume? I have a total of 7 2TB's and 3 of them are full. I want to do a 7X2TB volume but can only start with 4. THANKS
@LUZR4LIFE You cannot add drives to a RAID-Z after creating it, but you can (sorta) stripe together two RAID-Z pools to increase the size of the total volume. You lose two drives to parity (without gaining double protection) that way but it's the only way to increase the size of a ZFS volume after creating it besides replacing each drive with a larger one one at a time. For more detailed help, got forums.freenas.org or #freenas on FreeNode IRC.
