Increased storage, but not in the same pool...?

[alanl]

Hello!
I'm using FreeNAS 11.1
I've just changed the 4x WD Green 2TB drives in my FreeNAS for 4x WD Red 4TB drives..
I did this by replacing each drive at a time, over the past 2 days, by using a 5th drive slot on the computer (HP microserver), and followed the instructions in the guide from the GUI.
This says that at the end of the process, I should see the extra storage available under the Storage-Volumes tag.
I can see that the storage has increased to 7.2TB from 3.5Tb, but the size of the pool is still the same, at 3.5 TB.

Was I wrong to expect the pool size to increase? Or ... If I want a larger pool, should I destroy what I have, and recreate from the offline back-up?

Thanks for any advice!!

Alan

Please be more specific here. Describe exactly what you are seeing using which version of the GUI or show us a screenshot.

Post the output from zpool get autoexpand

What is your pool layout? what is your hardware?

 

[alanl]

Post the output from zpool get autoexpand

[root@freenas ~]# zpool get autoexpand
NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE
FreeNAS_1 autoexpand off default
freenas-boot autoexpand off default
[root@freenas ~]#

I suspect that that tells the answer...?? autoexpand is set to off

 

[Jailer]

Run the following command zpool set autoexpand=on FreeNAS_1. You may have to reboot for the change to take effect.

Its 4 x 4TB WD red drives, as raidZ2
Running on an HP microserver, with 8GB ECC ram

 

[alanl]

Run the following command zpool set autoexpand=on FreeNAS_1. You may have to reboot for the change to take effect.

I've done that... and now get...
[root@freenas ~]# zpool get autoexpand
NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE
FreeNAS_1 autoexpand on local
freenas-boot autoexpand off default
[root@freenas ~]#

But the storage tab still shows the same as before...

Gah, post output in code tags please, the formatting is lost and it's difficult to read when you don't.

Partitions look ok. You can try offlining each drive one at a time from the GUI and then bring them back on line to see if it picks up the autoexpand flag. If that doesn't work I'm out of ideas.

 

[alanl]

Sorry about not using the code tags...

Offlining each drive and bringing it back has changed things...

Are you sure you have a RAIDz2 pool? That looks like a RAIDz1 pool. Post the output of zpool status.

Well I don't know what I was looking at before but it all looks good. At least you have all your new capacity now.

 

[alanl]

Many Thanks for the help..!!

I'm still a bit confused though...

In #13 above... it shows 11.4TB available, but on the next line down it shows 5.4TB available...?

 

[Jailer]

First line is total disk space of the entire pool. Second line down is available disk space minus overhead and parity.

 

[alanl]

Ah! I understand now!!

Many thanks!

Have a good New Year!!
