OK, to do this you will have to replace one drive at a time and wait for the re-silver to complete before moving onto the next disk.
First, check that the
Once you have confirmed that the
Once all three drives have been replace, the pool will automatically grow to the new size.
First, check that the
autoexpand property is set on your pool, zpool get autoexpand <poolname> and it should return on. If it is off, switch it on by running zpool set autoexpand=on <poolname> and verify with the previous command.Once you have confirmed that the
autoexpand property is on, you can then start to replace drives. The procedure is the same as replacing a failed drive (http://doc.freenas.org/11/storage.html#replacing-a-failed-drive) Since you have a spare SATA port, I suggest using it while running the replace. Install the new drive and replace the disk using the failed disk procedure as it reduces the risk of drive failure while re-silvering.Once all three drives have been replace, the pool will automatically grow to the new size.
