Hello HexOS Team, I noticed a potentially misleading statement in this Hardware & Storage Requirements/Compatibility FAQ regarding ZFS pool expansion with two drives. The current note "Pool will not be expandable if using only 2 drives" is technically incorrect. In ZFS: Two-disk mirror configurations can be fully expanded Drives can be replaced one-by-one with larger capacity drives The resilver process works seamlessly Many users prefer simple two-disk configurations, especially when repurposing laptops. Could you clarify or revise this statement to accurately reflect ZFS expansion capabilities?

just a comment: I've learned that sinology does not permit 3rd party os, but other NAS do, but usually old PCs or NAS that you want to repurpose don't reach the 8gb of RAM stated in the HexOS requirements, also rarely you can install a second hdd in old laptops, so I'm starting to wonder if the requirements are so high who's this product really for.

I'm planning to run HexOS in a Proxmox vm and give a licence to friends or family to help them replace their cloud subscriptions (but I might not be able to help them directly with the configuration). The key use cases are the following : - ease to configure OS and immich for a non tech-savy, remember that they come mostly from icloud or google drive and that you are competing against the personal cloud software that most NAS offer in bundle with their hardware. - Immich vs Synology, i know Immich is not developed in HexOS and I've never used it, but since it will be your main media backup software I will compare to that, cloud-like features are appreciated, like sharing a public link with a seamless automatic ddns (you could prompt the user to choose a domain but not more than that). - offload backups: I'm really interested on this feature, I can help myself having a backup but most people really can't bother, usually have one hdd or usb pen drive and call it a day, so it will be a big improvement (especially if they choose my server as target that will do a backup of the backup on a different machine). But I see potential flaws: for someone like me that have multiple TB to manage it will be tough to make a selection of what is really important to be sent over, so I'm thinking at something like a system flag, but I don't know how it will be easy to implement. Also strong compression can be used and a bandwidth limit must be set, I don't want to saturate my friend's network neither I want mine to randomly spike.

I'm planning to use HexOS on different hardware, scaling if needed. My friend wants to repurpose his old laptop with an i3-5005u and a single drive, and use it as a simple photo and video backup to replace icloud (i wonder how many features could you run on a limited hardware). while I'll be running my istance in a Proxmox VM, passing maybe a cheap and low power gpu for transcoding, like the intel uhd 630 or the tesla p4 if more power is needed on something like machine learning. I've also recently bought a sinology ds218play and I'm looking forward on compatibility.
