I had a faulty drive appear on my system and as my usage was getting quite high, I decided to buy 2x 4TB drives to replace the damaged drive and its pair in a 2x 2TB mirrored vdev.
The vdev is part of a zpool consisting of 2x 4TB and 8x 2TB drives, all run as mirrored pairs.
From the documentation, I checked that autoexpand was enabled then offlined the drive that contained errors, connected a 4TB and allowed it to resilver. Once complete, I then offlined the "good" 2TB drive, connected a 4TB and allowed it to resilver once again.
Now both new 4TB drives are in the same mirrored vdev.
What I was expecting was for zpool capacity to go up by 2TB but this hasn't happened. I've tried to export/import the volume and also tried "zpool online -e" command for the new drives.
Can anyone shed some light on a step I might have missed?
