I have installed nas4free recently and managed to mount 500gb HDD in UFS mode and share it in the network using SAMBA share.
Now I need to add 2 x 4TB and 1 x 2TB HDD to this NAS.
Can I keep the 500gb HDD in UFS mode?
while I format the total of 10TB as a mirrored raid of ZFS pool? So it will be 5TB and 5TB of mirror.
This is the old XigmaNAS forum in read only mode,
it will taken offline by the end of march 2021!
I like to aks Users and Admins to rewrite/take over important post from here into the new fresh main forum!

yes, as a separate HD , not part of any pool.mosaic2s wrote:Can I keep the 500gb HDD in UFS mode?
NOt possible, you can create a 4TB mirror ZPOOL and have a 2TB Disk for other pourpouses.mosaic2s wrote:Now I need to add 2 x 4TB and 1 x 2TB HDD to this NAS.

PD: you can create a mirror pool using 500GB + 2 TB and upgrade 500GB disk in the future to grow pool from 500GB to 2TB.
