Because this is a potentially disruptive procedure, contact iXsystems Support to review your overprovisioning needs and schedule a maintenance window.
Customers who purchase iXsystems hardware or that want additional support must have a support contract to use iXsystems Support Services. The TrueNAS Community forums provides free support for users without an iXsystems Support contract.
