IIRC TrueNAS next release will include RaidZ1 with 2 disks

As for migration, you might be able to create a degraded pool initially, copy over the data, and add the parity disk last.

I actually asked in the TrueNAS forum about this idea. According to some knowledgeable users this might work. For anyone interested, details here. The next major release (planned for end of October), should make this easier.

Not participating in a disinformation war reminds me of the hesitation to allow Ukraine to strike Russian territory with the supplied weapons. What incentive does thr other side have to stop?

Repeat after me “Fines need to be tied to global revenue”. It has to hurt, if you want companies to stop.

I think it’s hilarious that western leaders are worried about provoking Russia by providing Ukraine with weaponry that can be used in Russian territory.

Russia is at war with us. It’s not tanks, fighter jets and battleships. It’s cyber warfare, disinfomation campaigns, bribing of right wing politicians and poisonings. Just because nobody wants to call it a war, doesn’t make it go away.

Thanks for the recommendation. Will take a look and see if the extra money is worth it.
