Hi All,

Not sure this is a bug or not but feel free to move from here to the bug reports if it is in fact an issue. Ran through the steps to move to the TPM license on 7.3b2 without issue then upgraded to 7.3rc1 before moving to the internal drive function. (Couldn't find the screws to mount my older SSDs back into the server in my available time hence the different versions used for each stage.)

Just ran through the wizard on the boot pool tab and followed the prompts as expected. Within that wizard there was no ability, that I could see, to select the existing mirrored pool nor the ability to select a partition size if the drives were being put into a pool from this tool.

End result is a zfs mirrored boot drive pool consuming the full size of the SSDs...Positive is that it does in fact boot direct from SSD - selected shutdown and pulled the USB flash from the server before next power up. Would have liked the ability to define a partition for the boot and a partition for the rest of the drive.

Is the inability to creation partitions at the time the pool is created through this wizard expected or did I just mess something up? The Internal boot FAQs do not list any such detail so figured I'd ask here to start.

This is normal; you can only use unassigned devices, since if there's data there, it would be wiped.

You can remove that pool from Main, then run the wizard again.

Correct, I had removed the existing pool (was only created just before going through the wizard the first time) and selected the drives to be used for the boot pool. It was this portion that didn't allow the ability to define a partition size and used the full drive.

That was the sequence that I followed and the drives are now fully assigned for the boot pool.

Should the wizard have the ability to define a partition size?

In the wizard you can select between a dedicated or split pool, default is dedicated.

Suggested steps to proceed to rebuild the boot pool from its current state then?

Sorted it out on my side. May not have been 100% correct but this was the steps I followed - booted back to the USB drive, removed pool, ran through the wizard again.
