Thanks for the ideas - at first i was thinking i could simplify by having the disk enclosure mount as a single drive and then I would just need to merge my existing software setup. Im getting pretty unanimous feedback that this is not a good idea.

I’ll dive deeper into mdadm’s documentation and see if I can do some magic here. I realize it’s not the most elegant solution, but I’d really prefer keeping my existing setup and add to it.

Thanks again for your input, I appreciate it!

Hey - thanks for the input and suggestions. Part of my idea is because of my desire to not rebuild my whole stack but I see that I likely will need to. Part of the fun in this hobby I suppose 🙂

Really appreciate it and thanks again.
