Hello,

I am running FreeNAS-11.3-U3.2 and I am having trouble interpreting and making sense of what the CLI is reporting my pool size is vs what the GUI is showing.
The GUI is showing I have Available Space 14.51 TiB (27%) used, and in Cli when I do zpool list and zpool list -v I get size 29T(Size) 7.69T (Allocated) 21.3T (Free). I am not understanding these numbers as they differ? I have 8x 4TB drives in the Pool. None of this makes sense to me. Thanks

You rarely want to use zpool list to determine how much space you have. The value it reports is raw - i.e. before redundancy.

Instead, you'll find that zfs list [-o space] will match the GUI.
