I have a new F630 with 4 shelves (2 pairs) or about 200GB of disk space. Ideally, I would like to configure it with two 100GB RAID groups composed of 12 data drives, one parity, and one spare each (maybe only one spare for the entire filer).
If I remake the filesystem with half the disks and start using it, will I be able to upgrade to multi-RAID/multi-volume and add the other half of the disks without a backup/restore cycle?
Is there anything else I should know about trying this?
