Right now I'm on FreeBSD 6.4/UFS2 and going to go to 8.1 with ZFS. Right now I have 3 disks, but one of them has data on it. I'd like to setup a RaidZ but have a question on how to do this: Basically, I need to setup a mirror with the two empty drives, copy the data over and then add the third. Is that even possible?
