Hi Yonkoc,
Milhouse is correct, from the output of the command I asked you to post, you only have one volume called "Backup". The output you posted earlier of the files in /mnt was:
Code:
drwxr-xr-x 6 root wheel 512 Dec 4 03:52 ./
drwxr-xr-x 20 root wheel 512 Nov 27 23:17 ../
drwxrwxr-x 2 root operator 512 Dec 4 03:45 .snap/
drwxr-xr-x 4 root wheel 4 Nov 29 23:59 Backup/
drwxr-xr-x 3 Yonko Yonko 512 Dec 4 03:52 NewBKP/
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 5 Oct 13 16:46 md_size
drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 512 Dec 4 03:46 mnt/
The system needs/creates the .snap directory and the md_size file, so you need to delete "NewBKP" (rm -rf /mnt/NewBKP). After that your filesystem shouldn't be full and you can follow Milhouse's advice and create datasets, or wait and learn more about them and just create a couple of folders/directories in /mnt/Backup to copy your files to.
Let us know how it goes.
EDIT: You should also delete the 'mnt' folder in /mnt, so (rm -rf /mnt/mnt).

Thank you guys, but let me explain what I've been trying to do all along. Originally I had 2 raidz 5x2TB each. One was called NAS, one was called Backup, same data on both. I wanted to speed up read access from those as they are media shares. So I moved data off of them and recreated 3 vdevs each 2x2TB, called HomeNAS. I then added 2 vdevs 2x2TB each for a total of 5 vdevs 2x2TB each.This is where it got all screwed up. I did not know I could not remove vdevs once added. And then I removed 1 disk with zpool detach. And I screwed up. So I've been trying to get my data away from those 10 hdds and the sequence of events from here on follows:
1. I used a spare 3TB hdd to backup the bulk of the data (still could not get all of it and lost some of it (movies but I can recreate those from my DVDs)) - I'm losing my mind but I think I named this one Backup (again). Then, again by mistake, I added a 1TB drive to get to 4TB so I can get all my data, but was half asleep and and screwed up which pool to add it to. Then I tried to replace it and replaced it in a very wrong way. So after that I was using a 3TB drive, a 1TB drive and a replacement 1TB drive that was meant for something else. And I lost some more movies. It is clusterf*ck in essence.
2. I now have two more 2TB drives (external ones) in a stripe, called NewBKP that I started an rsync job to using rsync -av --progress /mnt/HomeNAS /mnt/NewBKP it was going fine until that filesystem full messages cropped up. I got some 115 movies left to backup and I cannot get to them.
My end goal is to preserve the 2x2TB stripe, export it with all the data I can manage to save, wipe the rest of all hard drives and recreate 5x2x2TB vdevs, mount them and then move data back on them. I am at the point where I can throw everything out the window and start over with investing another 50 hours in re-ripping my 600+ DVD/BRay collection. I'm just sick and tired. I've been going at it for the past week. If something goes wrong, it's 8-16 hours for a scrub, 30hrs for an rsync job, etc.
So, NewBKP IS the backup I need as it is the external drives with over 2TB of data presently, with almost a TB more to come from those 100+ remaining movies. Any way I can expand the filesystem so I can finish the rsync job. I could not care less for anything, I'm at damage control now. If I can get the rest of those 100+ movies I'm a happy camper (relatively, as I still lost about a 400GB of movies that I might not be able to recreate).
On a side note, good thing this is not happening in a production (as in live) environment but my home server. So this is my "practice" fail mode, so to speak. I'd pulling my ever-so-receding hair out if that were to be one of my backup repositories for office data. Mine is an 3.6TB full out of 18TB pool but those are moves and music. I dread to think my 1.5TB office backup going through this.
So, what is the get-the-data-now method? Expand filesystem to accommodate rsync completion? And how? Or can I re-mount NewBKP somewhere else. I'm still a virgin (well, not really) in FN 7/8 but the concepts of file systems, mountpoints, etc are somewhat confusing. I'm coming from early days of DOS and Win, all the way to now and while I fully comprehend directory structure this thing just baffles me. Time will tell.
