Hello all,

Setup:

Truenas Core latest
1 x WD Black 250GB drive as boot-pool
3 x WD Red 4TB as storage
1 x WD Red 10TB (new replacement drive)

It took its time but after 7 years a drive within my RAIDZ1 pool died.

Truenas faulted the drive which I understand means it was removed from the pool. It was one of 4 x 4TB drives.

In the mindset of replacing and trying to expand my pool, I got a WD Red 10TB on sale to replace it with.

I physically removed the faulted drive and put in the 10TB drive and ran the "replace disk" via the GUI, it worked fine and replaced the drive but.. I don't see any more storage.

The pool had 4TB free space when I removed the faulted drive, so in my mind I should have more than that now a 10TB has replaced it.

Is there a GUI way or CLI command I can use to get that extra space in?

Autoexpand is turned on.

Any help would be great.

Thanks.

You wont see any more free space until all drives in the raidz have been replaced (and raidz1 isn't recommended for larger drives)

Thanks for the quick reply @c77dk I guess I'll grab another 4TB drive, swap out the 10TB and when they go on sale again grab a few more and create a new RaidZ2 pool and migrate over.
