After upgrading to FreeNAS 9.3, I decided to swap out the 4GB USB stick that I was using as a boot device. The new USB drive is 16GB.
I used the dd command to copy an image of the old 4GB USB device to the 16 GB device, but of course, I wrote a 4GB image to a 16GB device. Do I need to grow that partition, or will ZFS automatically grow the partition? I have searched these forums and the FreeNAS handbook, but have been unable to find out how to grow a USB ZFS partition, or whether it's even needed. There doesn't seem to be much information on upgrading USB boot devices at all.
Does anyone know what's needed when upgrading to a larger USB boot device? Thanks!
