Hey Guys,
I don't really understand ZFS etc so I'm a bit lost here.
I had a 1TB NTFS drive which I was using in FreeNas 8.2, but I was having trouble with the drivers.
As I needed a new HDD for space reasons anyway, I purchased a new 2TB drive, added it as ZFS and copied the data from the 1TB drive to that. All fine.
I then detached the NTFS drive to blank it. So, now I want to get the 1TB drive back usable. I tried importing it as a ZFS, but that doesn't work. Do I need to extend the already existing ZFS drive, and if so, how do I do that without affecting the data on it? I don't want any redundancy/backup, just want the extra 1TB space for storage.
Thanks,
Edit: Nevermind, seems like something was still using the drive, a reboot solved it. Can be closed, thanks.
