I am planning a storage server where users will store up to 20 TB of data. Since I have made some good experiences with ZFS on Linux, I would like to use that. However, I know that the amount of data will grow by several 100 GB per year, so at some point, I will need to increase my pool size. Since there is so much data, I am afraid that it will be quite a hassle to completely destroy the zpool and recreate it; so I wonder whether it would be possible to increase the pool capacity by adding more disks and keeping the existing ones. The pool will be RAIDZ-1 at least.
Or is it true that it will be necessary to remove one disk after another and replace it with a larger one? no, I cannot believe that. How do larger servers than mine handle the increasing demand for more storage capacity?
