Hi forum, hopefully there's a simple answer to this
Say I have a pool (with pool file duplication x2), with a set of drives of sizes that mean I have some space that is "unusable for duplication" (I completely understand the reason for this, with a bunch of mismatched drive sizes). If I fill the pool so I have (e.g.) 85% full with duplicated files and the remaining 15% is unusable for duplication - what happens when I write to the drive? I am fairly sure it's smart enough to write the file, but since can't duplicate it I get some kind of warning that it's not fully duplicated. Or will it simply report the virtual pool disk is full?
Extending this scenario slightly: Say I have a pool with 2x 1TB drives and 1x 2TB drive, with pool file duplication 2x and the pool is full. If one of the 1TB drives goes bad and I have to remove it, will the pool keep functioning, just reporting that I have 1TB of unduplicated files on the pool?
