mixing disks of different size
is it OK to mix hard drives of different sizes? I am configured with x-raid2 thanks.
No, you only get one volume with xraid.

xraid2 will create multiple raid layers to handle disks of different sizes, but they all are part of one volume. The order you add the disks matters. If you have some 1 TB drives, then add some 3 TB drives, then you cannot add 2 TB drives in the future. xraid2 lets you add a new layer on top, but it cannot handle constructing new layers in between. So you can add larger disks than you have already, but not smaller disks.
