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

    The old adage is never use v x.0 of anything, which I’d expect to go double for data integrity. Is there any particular reason ZFS gets a pass here (speaking as someone who really wants this feature). TrueNAS isn’t merging it for a couple of months yet, I believe.
