Expanding zpools?
Posted: Fri Jan 05, 2018 2:23 pm
Hi, a very simple question. I had a RAIDZ1 pool made of 4x6TB drives. I have replaced each of those with an 8TB (i.e.: 4x8TB). However the pool is still acting as if I have 4x6TB, even though I've exported the pool and reimported it. Have I missed a step? (Using 1.6.1 on 10.11.6, if it makes a difference). Apologies, but it's one of those questions I thought was in the documentation but doesn't appear to be there.
OK, I found these instructions buried in another post:
lundman, ilovezfs, someone else with wiki edit privs: can you PLEASE add this to the documentation section? This is clearly OS X-specific.

<confirm expansion>
zpool export POOLNAME
zpool import -d /var/run/dsk/by-id POOLNAME # was that the path?
