I recently purchased a Dell R730. My plan was to run a few VMs, and use the 8 drive bays as a a large RAID array. I have been getting to know Proxmox, which i dont really have any complaints about, over the past few months. I currently have 4 8TB drives set up in a ZFS pool in a TrueNAS core VM. It has become full. Last night I went to expand the pool capacity and I find out that its not possible to just add a drive. So now ive been reading about UnRaid, which has that capability. I think i know the right thing to do, but i wanted to hear other peoples opinions on the matter. Should i start fresh with a bare metal unraid install, or should i run unraid as a VM in Proxmox? Im kind of disappointed that truenas pools cannot be easily expanded as i just spent a few months working kinks out with proxmox and truenas
You can “expand” it by increasing the capacity of each disk, but that can get costly.
Depending on how you have your vdevs set up, you could just add another.
