I've been studying ZFS for a few weeks now, and i seem to be hitting a wall.
Planning a 12 drive box.
I understand that there are only two ways to enlarge your pool. Either Creating a new Zdev and adding to the pool, or Replacing the drives one by one with larger ones.
So i've been testing inside Vmware but i have been running into problems with the replacing drive method.
Using Freenas 8.3, Beta 2 and 3.
I started off with 2 two 10gb drives
Setup a ZFS Mirror
put some file on it.
Removed one drive, replace with a bigger one, re-silvered, all good.
Removed the second drive, replace with a bigger one, re-silvered.
But the Size is still the same.
Im not sure what do do.
