    There is a script that does what's needed at github.com/markusressel/zfs-inplace-rebalancing. When I do potentially problematic things like changing the topology (and the current situation allows me to) I set a global checkpoint to have a way...

    @UdoB agreed, I am in no way anticipating the raidz2 array as having backup tenancies at all. Only the fact that I have the resilience of two disks failing prior to data loss occurring in the array. The 3-2-1 backup strategy is what I would use...

    You have a single vdev and you are adding a new, empty, second one. No resilvering, no rebalance, no nothing will happen. Everything is fine as it is. As already said: all data is on the old vdev, at first. Technically that is fine! Seen from a...

    Thanks for the insight! Yea as I've been thinking about it I actually feel like the two 12 disks Vdevs in the pool would be better than 1. If I simply create the new vdev and add it to the pool, should I do anything after that to optimize the new...

    No, no, no - do not do this. I see that this is tempting, but a 12 disk wide vdev is already considered "wide". Additionally: two vdevs will double IOPS, which is always a good idea ;-) Disclaimer: I've never setup a 24 wide vdev, not even...

    Oh nice I wasn't aware that was needed. I went ahead and ran the command zpool upgrade ZFS1 and it looks like it added the feature raidz_expansion but that isn't strictly the vdev expansion feature (or so it seems). Do you know if the vdev...

    My guess is that you should do zpool POOL upgrade in order to activate new features...

    liamlows posted the thread Proxmox VE 9 existing ZFS vdev expansion? in Proxmox VE: Installation and configuration.
    Hello, So I recently performed my upgrade from proxmox VE 8 to 9 and with it I was excited to see that v.9 now includes a form of ZFS expansion: "ZFS now supports adding new devices to existing RAIDZ pools with minimal downtime." I currently...
