I have had my FreeNAS operating for some time now and I am having a big issue with the same data taking up twice the space on a new pool.
Essentially I have a Striped pool containing 2 4TB drives which has my media on it. The portion I have tried to move right now is 3.5TB. I have made a new RAIDZ2 pool with 6 8TB drives. When i copy the content over to it, it doubles in size on the destination array when looking at the web interface datasets view and when doing a du -sh <folder> but when I look at the individual files, they are the same sizes. When I add up those files in the folder, they also match the source. So why does a du-sh show double space used. This makes no sense to me! The dataset shows the number of copies as 1 so I am not seeing an issue there.
Anything I am doing wrong?
