Issue with seeing all storage

[bendsley]

I currently have a server with 12 drive bays, 1-6 are 4TB drives and 7-12 are 2TB drives. Each set is in RAID6 from the raid controller (LSI, not using JBOD or RAIDZ2).

FreeNAS is seeing these are mfid0 (16TB) and mfid1 (8TB). Attached images of this.

I had set this up to keep my two pools (pool0 and pool1) separate due to wanting VMs on pool1 away from just general nas storage.

Anyway, I decided against this and decided to extend pool0 and it showed I could using mfid1. I extended, but as you can see in the pictures, I'm showing a total of 17.7TB. I should be seeing 24TB total correct?

Am I missing something here and if so...any guidance is appreciated.

Why are you using a RAID controller + FreeNAs....? Have you not read anything here?

Guidance? Blow everything to hell and properly expose those drives.

Sir:

FreeNAS + HBA hardware RAID = almost certain destruction of all of your data. You cannot run what you currently have configured in FreeNAS safely. This is mentioned at least 100 times in the forum, and I am sure, in the documentation.

Disable all RAID functionality on the controller and/or flash the firmware on it, etc, so that your drives are individually exposed at the raw level to the FreeNAS appliance. This is software RAID. If you combine it with hardware RAID, you are 100% guaranteed to be sorry.

What they said.. but I'll add a tidbit.

You did hardware RAID, so no matter what ZFS wants to do, the hardware RAID can easily be responsible for any one of a number of problems, including incorrect sizing due to hardware RAID configuration. So you're totally on your own since we can't really tell you how the hardware RAID is configured.
