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?
