I have 3 new 3TB HDDs which should replace old ones in an RAIDZ
As first Action, I offlined the first old HDD and replaced with a new one.
Using the GUI, I wanted now to 'online' the new HDD, but under devices, I get only a list of both reminaing old HDDs, not the new one.
using Status, I find my new HDD as a Long number and "was ada2.nop"
What should I do ?
This is the old XigmaNAS forum in read only mode,

Its not possible for us to export from here and import it to the main forum!

Re: Replace HDD in RAIDZ
Okay, that worked; but only with the help of the cmdline. The Web-GUI seems not to be capable of doing the replace process.
But there remains a problem:
I am disappointed that the size of the pool stays at the same size as before.
I had once a pool with 696G; now all 3 HDDs have been replaced by 3TB models;
I would expect a new size of about 6G now.
I found somethig about a autoexpand-feature and activated this - no change
Merry christmas

Some more information:

NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE
vStorage expandsize 7.50T -

Here you can see that there is a lot of space somewhere

Re: Replace HDD in RAIDZ
Not 100% sure but I think an export and reimport of your pool will do the trick.

Re: Replace HDD in RAIDZ
autoexpand-feature work BEFORE replace disk.
zpool online -e my disk work AFTER replace disk even disk is online
"You can use the zpool online -e command to expand the pool's size when a smaller disk is replaced by a larger disk. By default, pool size is not expanded to its full size unless the autoexpand pool property is enabled. You can expand the pool size automatically when a smaller disk is replaced by a larger disk by using the zpool online -ecommand even if the disk is already online or if the disk is currently offline."

Re: Replace HDD in RAIDZ
Thanky you. This worked for me.
I now have about 4.9T available.
Nevertheles, there seems to be a bug in Web-GUI.
