Space recovery after raidz expansion

I have a raidz2 pool which started with 4x16TB disks and I expanded with an additional two disks
After expansion I run the zfs-inplace-rebalancing script and it seems to have run properly. zfs lists reports:

Column 1 Column 2 Column 3 Column 4 E F G H I J
NAME SIZE ALLOC FREE CKPOINT EXPANDSZ FRAG CAP DEDUP HEALTH
pool 87.3T 48.2T 39.1T - - 0% 55% 1.00x ONLINE
raidz2-0 87.3T 48.2T 39.1T - - 0% 55.20% - ONLINE

But the GUI reporta:

Usable Capacity: 42.16 TiB

  • Used: 23.36 TiB
  • Available: 18.8 TiB

Why the descrepency and how do I get the missing 20TiB back?
Thanks

Ignore the GUI report and only use the CLI data. The CLI is more correct. It’s a known issue mentioned in the release notes when the Raid Z Expansion first appeared

Just search RAID-Zx-expansion tag and have fun reading. It should be explained in there.

Thanks for the reply
Once I’ve filled up the 18TiB the gui reports will it show pool as full and will I start getting alerts?

No, the GUI will get new, and slightly less wrong, numbers as the pool fills. But it will always be wrong.
