In my storage topology, I see there are 2 warnings in my topology, however I don't see what they are? The details show no errors; is it because I have mismatched drives? That's an artifact of how I've grown the system, from a single desktop-class device with 6 drives to a new chassis with support for 12). Is it because I didn't assign any other vdevs other than data?

You have disks of unequal size in each of your 2 VDEVs... it's "warning" you about that not being optimal... ignore it if you already know what you're doing.

You could gain some available space by moving one of the larger disks from the second to the first pool replacing the smaller one. Then add the smaller one to the second pool to restore full redundancy.

Ok cool. It's been in this condition for about 3 years so I'm not that worried, I just didn't see anywhere to get a description of the warning. As budget allows, I want to start moving to 8TB drives. Thanks for the help.

Thank you for the clear, concise answer. Was trying to figure this out. Wish the GUI was a little more obvious in this regard.
