I am running freenas (FreeNAS-11.2-U4.1) as a virtual machine under vmware esxi, which is hosted on a hardware raid system so there is no need to use another raid configuration inside the virtualized freenas.
The freenas vm had two harddisks, an 8GB bootdisk and another 2.0TB for the filepool.
Now the filepool is almost full and i grew the 2.0TB virtual disk to the size of 2.3TB via VMware settings (online, no problem).
Under show disks it is represented with its new capacity of 2.3TB (device da1 disk size).
I must have overseen something basic as i am unable to get the existing filepool using the added capacity of about 300G, it remains showing 1.9TiB for the filepool and the underlying (smb) share.
I tried to expand the pool via console with command "zfspool online -e filepool gptid/d52427f1-8a01-11e9-86f9-000c299b67c5" but it does not grow the filepool.
What can i do to expand volumes/shares without having to build a raid on virtual disks?
Thanks
