Question: RAIDZ2 with only two drives(temporarily)?

TrueNAS General
1

Hi! I’ve never used TrueNAS and just had this question. If I only had two drives, would I be able to set them up as RAIDZ2 and add a third drive later? Would this function properly if it’s possible?

I hope questions are allowed here, apologies if they aren’t.

The minimum number for raidz2 is four.
In theory you could use the command line to create a degraded array, but this is not advised—especially if you have to ask.
