Here is my situation. I am running a FreeNAS setup on a system that uses a proprietary data cartridge that consists of (x4) 1TB SSDs. I am using ZFS and RAID0 for the drives. This gives me more than enough storeage for the files I am keeping (roughly 2.8TB). I am not really concern with redundancy as I have another system running as a backup. This is not my design, it is something that my company has implemented and I am being tasked with dealing with it.
The issue I have run across is that the vendor of the data cartridges recently updated/changed drive models inside of the cartridge. The old drive is about 110,838,016 bytes larger as compared with the newer drives. So when I use "dd if=/dev/sdc of=/dev/sdg bs=512", it gives me an error at the end saying that there was not enough free space on the destination to copy. Since I am only using up 2.8TB of data on a ZPOOL with roughly 3.8TB of available space, can I adjust the size of the larger partition without loosing data? This would allow me to copy data like I need to from the larger drive to the small one.
Any help would be appreciated as I am VERY new to FreeNAS, ZPOOLs and ZFS. Thanks in advance.
