Hello!
I'm using FreeNAS 11.1
I've just changed the 4x WD Green 2TB drives in my FreeNAS for 4x WD Red 4TB drives..
I did this by replacing each drive at a time, over the past 2 days, by using a 5th drive slot on the computer (HP microserver), and followed the instructions in the guide from the GUI.
This says that at the end of the process, I should see the extra storage available under the Storage-Volumes tag.
I can see that the storage has increased to 7.2TB from 3.5Tb, but the size of the pool is still the same, at 3.5 TB.
Was I wrong to expect the pool size to increase? Or ... If I want a larger pool, should I destroy what I have, and recreate from the offline back-up?
Thanks for any advice!!
