I have successfully created 2 new volumes with 2 new 3TB drives. I have since then mounted NTFS drives and copied over the data to these two drives. Because I still want to use the old drives, I figured I would create new volumes with these NTFS drives, essentially letting FreeNAS formatting these drive to ZFS and then start moving the data back, or some of it.
However, when selecting Create Volume, only one of the NTFS drives are listed as an option, along with one of the 3TB drives, who already is a volume with active shares. So this is very confusing. Why would it only show one of the NTFS drives and not the other, and why even include an already active volume in the list?
This is the output from gpart, showing that all these drives are available
But in the GUI, I can only create a voule of one of them, inlcuding the already created volume.
Could someone please shed some light on this one?
