I submitted a bug on this issue, it looks like you can reference other bugs when you submit one, so everyone having this issue could possibly link mine and submit their own hardware config. It sounds like it's widespread though, so I'm not sure if that would help or hinder. I'd hate to bury the

Hi Tim, In a pool with mixed disk sizes, ZFS can use only the amount of disk space that is equal to the smallest disk and spares aren't included in pool size until they are used. In your RAIDZ-2 pool, this is equivalent to 10 500 GB disks, which should be about 5 TBs. I think you are running a

Previous behavior was hard to predict. :-) It worked for a while, then a bug prevented it from working so that you had to export/import the pool to see the expanded space. The export/import thing was a temporary workaround until the autoexpand features integrated. cs On 11/12/09 15:23, Tim
