Create a pool from other pools

[fantomdew]

So i am doing something outside the box and am wondering if DrivePool can do this. I see mentions of something similar but no real answer. So i have decided to build separate enclosures of drives and attach them to my server in more of a DIY Direct Attach System fashion. My goal is to have separate encloses holding 20 hard drives with maybe an ssd or two for cache. I would then pool each enclosure, then i would make one master pool from all the enclosures. The system is seeing the drives as attached drives and i can format them into one huge pool, but was thinking separate pools could be better?

Thoughts?

Yep you can do a Pool of Pools - has been available for a while now

create your two separate pools then create a third and add each pool to the third

then apply duplication settings to the master(third) pool etc - if thats what you want
