JeffA Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 (edited) Hello all -- Been using unraid for years, never had any problems until now. With 6.9.X, I created two cache pools, one to aid in speeding up performance the second to hold high io/apps and apps data. They are as follows: Cache pool 1: 2 x 500 GB SSDs in Raid 1 Cache pool 2: 2 x 2 TB SSDs in Raid 1 I wanted to add a third 2 TB drive in Cache pool 2 to bring the capacity up some as I anticipate filling it some day, so I follow the detailed instructions in the unraid doc, I restart the array, it warns me that the 3rd drive will be over written, it does the ZFS equivalent of re-slivering the new drive distributing the data and parity between all disks as I watch the read/write pattern and it quotes a 3 TB pool capacity (expected size). Here is the rub.... the reported "used" is correct but the reported "free" is still adding up to 2 TB, the original size of the pool -- any idea why it quotes a 3 TB pool but the "free" bar + "used" bar only adds up to 2 TB?

Solution JorgeB Posted January 10, 2022 Solution Share Posted January 10, 2022 It's a known btrfs issue, it happens when there's an odd number of devices in raid1. Quote Link to comment
JeffA Posted January 10, 2022 Author Share Posted January 10, 2022 Gotcha. Thanks. I guess a little more google effort would have revealed that. Quote Link to comment
