I am running TrueNAS Scale ElectricEel-24.10.2.
I have two 120GB SSD drives in mirror configuration for my boot pool. The disk list on the gui reports them as 111.79GB. When I issue the command:
“zfs list boot-pool”
I get the result:
NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT
boot-pool 22.7G 4.41G 96K none
This implies that I am using about 27GB with 4.4GB free. I would expect to have 111GB total. How can I investigate how the space is used and free it up if the space is not actually in use.
zpool list boot-pool
Paste the output inside “Preformatted text”. The button is at the top of the writer.
Did you ever upgrade the disks of the boot-pool previously from 32-GB SSDs?

Try running the following in the CLI to see how they are partitioned. You can append the drive name, like ‘ada0’, to the command if you only want to see one at a time.

sudo gpart show
That is exactly what I did. I originally used a 32 GB thumb drive and then cloned new 120GB drives.

TrueNAS does not seem to support gpart, but here is the output from fdisk. I cut out the significant part for the two drives.

It sems that it sees the total size of the drive, but I am not sure if that means that the pool would see that.
Try putting ‘sudo’ before the command?
I ran it on a Core system. My disk looks like this.
root@truenas[~]# gpart show ada1
=> 40 250069600 ada1 GPT (119G)

Do this, as posted by @SmallBarky.
EDIT: There might not be a GUI button for the boot-pool to expand the pool.
It should have done it automatically if the pool’s autoexpand property is enabled.
You can check with:
zpool get autoexpand boot-pool
The property can be enabled with:
zpool set autoexpand=on boot-pool
Otherwise, you’ll need to use zpool online -e for both devices in the boot-pool.
Thank you very much. It now reports that I have 84GB free. Autoexpand was set on, but did not cause the pool to expand, but the online command fixed it.
I appologize if this was an obvious answer, the patience and support is appreciated.
