Hopefully this question makes sense. I have a big DrivePool and one of my 8TB drives just died. While waiting for my Ironwolf 16TB to replace it, re-balancing across the other drives has begun.
However, it will be a multi-day rebuild, and drive space will definitely be tight - leading to my questions:
1. Is DrivePool smart enough to know if there's enough space to rebuild with my replication rules (2X globally, 3X for special folders) or not?
2. Does DrivePool know how much free space will be available once rebuilding is finished?
3. Is that presented to the user somehow?
I see metrics like "Free Space" and "Unduplicated" and while Free Space > Unduplicated, I assume my duplication factor will determine whether there's enough space or not.
