I know! I was speechless when i found out! it'll be for sure the first thing to address! I did some research and all i have to do is buy another ssd of similar size and the zfs attach, zfs will then create a mirror and copy all the data to the new drive! I'm debating even adding two ssd so that is a three way mirror. Thank you everyone for your contribution i'll get on with this project and let you know!

Hey everyone hope everyone had the best holidays without too many system issues! I was asked by my boss to increase the capacity of one of our client servers, they are running truenas scale with a topology of 8x4TB ironwolfs in raid-z2 and a single ssd as a metadata special vdev. They already bought 8x8TB ironwolfs and a couple of Crucial MX500s ssd. First of all i would like replace that single ssd with a raid of ssd because i’ve read that it’s a single point of failure because it’s a special vdev another option is to remove the ssd entilrely because from what i understand it’s not being utilzed. This is the output of zpool iostat -v special - - - - - - sdh1 18.3G 446G 0 11 120 204K What would be the best approach to solve all this issues? To create a new pool with the new disks and two new ssds as a metadata vdev? and then transferinng the data between pools? Is it worth it to have a metadata vdev? The client mostly stores big video files. Another option i tought is to add the new disks as a vdev to the existing pool and then transfering the data between vdev? is it even possible? Thank you very much!

EXTREME!!!
