We're getting a bit tight on space, and I'd like to add a drive shelf to my F740.
Right now, we have 2 full shelves of 18gig drives, with 1 for parity and 1 for hot spare. What I had planned to do was get a shelf of 36gig drives, and create a second raid group, then add it to the existing volume.
As I understand it, I would then have 2 hot spares (18 and 36), and two drives for parity.
Are there any "gotchas" (or blatant ignorance on my part) in this scenario?
Thanks, Jordan
