Hi. When I originally set up my pool, I added 2 x 1T ssds as a mirrored metadata vdev. Recently I saw a post that suggested I should be using 3 devices, as my main pool is raidz2, so I thought while adding a third ssd, I’d also increase the size, so did these steps:
- Added a 3rd ssd, size 2T. Selected “Extend” in the GUI. Left it to resilver
- Detached/Offlined (can’t remember which
) one of the 1T ssds. Replaced it with a 2T. Left it to resilver - Repeated the above with the last 1T ssd.
Thought all was well, as the devices display showed:
But while checking on something else, I found this under lsblk:
nvme1n1 259:0 0 1.8T 0 disk
└─nvme1n1p1 259:3 0 929.5G 0 part
nvme4n1 259:1 0 1.8T 0 disk
└─nvme4n1p1 259:4 0 929.5G 0 part
nvme0n1 259:2 0 1.8T 0 disk
└─nvme0n1p1 259:5 0 929.5G 0 part
So it really didn’t expand the size, just told fibs about how much it was using to make me feel good.
How do I get this vdev to expand out to fully use the ssds.
