Is it possible to transition my setup from mergeFs+Snapraid to zfs without a lot of spare storage that I don't have?
I currently have 2x4TB mergeFs setup, with a 4TB drive for Snapraid parity. (Total 8TB usable storage). - currently holding 7TB of data
I have purchased 2x4TB more drives. And ideally want to end up in a situation where I have 16TB of usable storage, with 1 parity. (12TB usable would be acceptable but not ideal).
The mergeFs harddrives are connected to a Ubuntu server. And I am moving the whole lot to a new server running proxmox (that has a Ubuntu server running in VM).
can anyone help me figure out if it's possible to migrate this to a ZFS pool that will do what I want.
I also have looked at unRAID because it supports adding disks, but that is its own hypervisor. So are there alternative ways of working that can work inside a proxmox VM?
