Delete Files from Full ISCSI Drive or start over?

[Esportsito]

I evidently setup VEEAM wrong and it locked up my ISCSI drive. (ISCSI to Server, Server formatted as NTFS drive). I can see the ISCSI drive, but it won't go online as it's full (tried in both disk management and CMD). I read here --> https://www.ixsystems.com/community/threads/deleting-files-via-command-prompt.62466/ that I could delete files by SSH into Freenas and then going to the location.. but that's just for NFS, SMB. I had all my VM's backed up, which I guess I could just delete the whole LUN and start back over as I don't really NEED the data per say as every Saturday I run backups.

Am I going to have to just delete the LUN and reconfigure or is there a way to delete some files by SSH into Freenas so I can then go back into Windows and free up space there?

If you have space in your pool, you could extend (increase the size of) the ZVOL by a small amount, and then attempt to remount and delete.

Can you show a zpool status and ZVOL config?

Weird thing is, should be 18 TiB if it's 4 10 TiB disks double parity.

It looks as if you may have some very small amount of free space (16T assigned to ZVOL, 17T in the pool?) so expanding the ZVOL is your best possible option.

If not, you may need to expand the pool itself before expanding the ZVOL, or perhaps try sending the ZVOL to a remote pool (although you'll really want 10Gb for this)

I expanded the ZVOL, it shows in windows as 512 gb unallocated but still won't go online. Rebooted server. Can't display any volumes in CMD.

Thinking I'll just have to delete the LUN and start over.
