How is the drive management in OMV? I’m looking for something similar to UnRaid pools so i can add one drive at a time (ZFS makes you add vdevs of the same no. of drives).
I’m not too concerned with parity (ive got automated remote backups for sensitive info that I cant replace) but it would be good to know if I could swap drives out if I need to expand or replace anything too.
EDIT: with ZFS 2.3.0 supporting raid expansion, it might be worth me holding out for a year for that to become more stable, and migrate after. I only have 1 drive for now so it shouldnt be too bad if i made a new pool and moved stuff over to a 2nd drive
You may encounter some confusing errors with MergerFS; depending on your config, any software using SQLite may crash with a scary-sounding “disk I/O error”. The quickstart has more info, https://trapexit.github.io/mergerfs/quickstart/
Yes, don’t put any database on it
