I currently have Nextcloud set up inside Proxmox with a ZFS pool of 2x 4tb ( in mirror)
I have 2 more 4tb hdds from a WD Mirror, i would like to add to my existing ZFS pool, however i do not want to lose the 1.2tb of data already on these drives (that are already configured in a mirror setup.
Is there a way to add the WD drives to my ZFS pool and still have access to the existing data in Nextcloud?
I am new to Proxmox/Debian/Nextcloud so any advice you can provide would be greatly appreciated, especially if its in laymans terms not technical.
please look in ZFS forums if it is possible to add drives with data to existing ZFS pool - I don’t think so… once you managed to add the data to the underlying ZFS pool you can move it to a NC data directory and perform occ files:scan which will “import” data into NC database…
Hi @wwe thanks.i
I have put the same question on Proxmox community, in the hope to get information from both sides, but good idea to look for a ZFS specofoc forum. Thanks.
And thats good to know on how to import the data. Thanks
