mixed vdev capacities but 2 mirrors with the exact same disks

[Herman Eggink]

I am seeing an orange exclamation mark saying mixed vdev capacities but the pool has 2 mirrors each having 2 identical disks. Any idea? Can't recall having seen this pre-cobia but may have been.

 

[winnielinnie]

Are you using any special vdevs?

 

[Herman Eggink]

Not that I know...

What do the partition tables look like? IIRC lsblk would be one way to get them in Linux.

 

[winnielinnie]

Either it's a bug...

Or at one point you changed the default "swap partition size", which is triggering this (pointless) warning.

sda,b,c and d are my data disks for my pool Main
sdf is a single backup drive (same as all other disks) for a pool Backup
sde is a smaller boot SSD (55G)
sdg is listed as a Generic_STORAGE_DEVICE-0:0 of 0B (no idea how that ever got there but it's unused)

I can't recall ever changing swap. I did switch out all Red's for SSD's a while back (given that the system isn't very write active and the SSD's dropped quite a bit in price and I was upset with the noise and and and) but I didn't change swap AFAICT.

SD media card reader?

 

[Patrick M. Hausen]

All the data disks have the standard 2G swap partition. I'm out of ideas.

 

[winnielinnie]

Can you run the lsblk command again, but this time pass the "-b" flag?

Owww bugger, now why didn't I think of that...

Here's lsblk -b:

[winnielinnie]

What the heck is SCALE complaining about? Every single partition in your data vdevs are the same exact size, down to the very byte.

Surely this has to be a bug.

 

[winnielinnie]

I managed to fix your problem. It's all about the color and the symbol!

But in seriousness, I'd file a bug report. (I could have sworn a similar issue happened before, which they supposedly "fixed" with an update?)

 

[Herman Eggink]

Will do. I thought I was going mad. Thanks for confirming and for the help.
