I was in the process of extending my 12x 4TB drive RAID-Z3 vdev with an additional 12x3tb drives and received the following error during the expansion. I know when extending and encrypted vdev resets the pass phrase and recovery key (which is also found in the FREENAS 9.3 documentation). Right after expanding the vdev the volume manager window hung for about 5 minutes and the following window appeared in the screen shot below. I assume that this is representative of the pass phrase not being present on the additional 12 drives that I just added? After this I immediately went to Storage => Volumes "Change Passphrase", "Download Key", "Add Recovery Key". Is this the only 3 steps needed to get the passphrase and keys on the new drives? Also when extending a volume is the "Encryption Re-key" equivalent to "Change Passphrase" if i plan on using the same passphrase on the new drives?
