I followed the instructions for growing a ZFP Pool (https://doc.freenas.org/9.3/freenas_storage.html#replacing-drives-to-grow-a-zfs-pool) using an extra SATA port.
However, after replacing a 1TB disk with a 3TB one, zpool status warns me about different native block size of the new disk (4096b) from the configured pool block size (512b). I tried to find out if it was possible to change the pool block size but I didn't find anything encouraging.
I reverted the change, and put back the original 1TB disk in the pool.
The machine has two RAIDZ1 pools:
I have 2 free SATA ports.
The only thing that comes to my mind is to destroy Pool A, create a new one with the 3TB disks, recreate the datasets and restore the backups. Is this the best option? Any other ideas?
Thanks fort any help.
