Expanding my storage - looking for advice
My current setup is an Odroid H3+ with 2x8TB hard drives configured in raid 1 via mdadm. It is running Ubuntu server and I put in 16GB of RAM. It also has a 1TB SSD on it for system storage.
I’m looking to expand my storage via an attached storage drive enclosure that connects through a USB 3 port. My ideal enclosure has 4 bays with hardware raid support, which I plan to configure in raid 10.
My main question: How do I pool these together so I don’t need to balance between the two? Ideally all binded to appear as a single mount point. I tried looking at mergefs, but I’m not sure that it would work.
I ask primarily because I write scripts which moves data to the current raid 1 setup. As i expand the storage, I want it to continue working without worrying about checking for space between the two sets.
Be real with me - is this dumb? What would you suggest given my current stack?
