The OS boot drive cannot be used for a storage pool, it has to be its own device so for your case it would not work

Something like this is something that I would like to eventually be able to do. I was hoping that with the support of docker containers I had dreamed that eventually my media server would take over tasks exactly like this once HexOS came to fruition.

I am somewhat in this in this situation atm. I have ~20tb (8+8+4tb) media server that I'm planning to migrate over but I don't necessarily have somewhere to store all of the data in one go while I migrate. I was hoping to empty 1 drive at a time and convert to ZFS rather than dump everything and do it in one go. Do drives have to be mirrored or striped or can I do JBOD style storage? I am also planning on buying a 16tb drive earlyish next year to add so I'm not too sure how my slightly funky setup will go As it stands can anybody speak as to whether this is feasible? Will have to keep investigating or waiting for more features added down the line I guess
