This is fantastic! Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
I have a 3TB main drive and a bunch of 1TB drives. I'm trying to think of ways around the rule of having parity drive the largest in the array. Would it be possible to simply add 3x1TB drives as parity drives in a setup of, say 1x3TB + 2x1TB? (1x3TB + 5xTB in total) Should I maybe consider using mergerfs to unify the 3 disks into one to achieve 1x(3x1TB)? Another option I thought of was unifying the 1TB drives to be something like 2x(3x1TB) (6 drives in total), and then having the 3TB drive act as...
