Expand Z1 pool - Easy Question

TrueNAS General
1

TrueNAS-13.0-U6.7

I have 7x8tb disks in a pool, running at 90% usage, I want to add another 8tb disk. The last slot. But I can’t find the documentation that tells me how. The only documentation says I have to add another 7x 8tb disks, however the following says it should work, if a little time consuming.

I think I go to the pool, click expand, then click expand on the “Expand pool to fit all available disk space.”

is that correct?

Can someone point me to the correct documentation please.

Thanks

I may be mistaken but I think RAIDZ expansion only works on TrueNAS SCALE and not TrueNAS CORE.

Thanks for that.

Love the signature “He who asks a question is a fool for five minutes; he who does not ask remains a fool forever.”

It’s so true and in the field of IT we should encourage it much more. NOBODY knows everything so never be scared to ask.
