Currently single raidz1-0 vdev with 7 disks and 2 spares.
I want to take the 2 spares and 5 new disks and make a second vdev to increase space to max out my box.

Currently single raidz1-0 vdev with 7 disks and 2 spares.
I want to take the 2 spares and 5 new disks and make a second vdev to increase space to max out my box.
So my questions are these...
- Should I stick with second raidz1 or am I safe to do a raidz2? Will a raidz2 play nice with a raidz1 in the same pool?
- Do I want to have both vdevs have the same amount of disks or can I have the vdevs different? (6 disk vdev with an extra spare)
- What setup would you do if you were in my position?
