Once I figure out how to stop the current replication (https://www.truenas.com/community/threads/how-to-stop-an-active-replication-run.113920/), I can start doing more tests.
I just bought 15 more of those HDDs, but they're not gonna get here for a few days. All said and done, this dRAID will be 45 drives instead of 30 now. With the hardware I have this weekend, I can only test with 44 drives. I wanna play around with the number of data drives and see if I can maximize parity vs data.
At this point, I think a dRAID2 is gonna be better than a dRAID3 since I can sustain 2 drive deaths and a third drive death once the distributed hotspare fills in the gaps; however long that takes. If I knew the fill time, I could be educated on the risks of using dRAID2 vs dRAID3. This is only a backup pool, but I'll eventually make my main pool dRAID as well, so it's important to know.
