TrueNAS - Pool - Add another vdev
It is generally recommended to add the same number of hard drives that the pool currently has.
- Meaning that if you have four hard drives in your pool using RAIDz1, you can add four additional drives, create a Vdev and you will have two Vdevs that are both utilizing RAIDz1.
- TrueNAS will also automatically balance the data between both Vdevs.
Add a vdev
Add the hard drives to the vdev
- Add the hard drives to the second Vdev.
- Select Add VDEVS.
- Depending on the RAID type being used, it will automatically be selected.
This will prompt for confirmation:
- Select Confirm.
- Select Add Vdev.
Check that the new vdev is okay
