so i replaced my two ssd’s in the zil with 800gb ssd’s but the size that i can use is still 256. does it need a restart or does it not increase at all?

Not sure about ZILs specifically, but what does zpool get autoexpand poolname tell you? If it’s set to off, you’d have to manually expand the pool with zpool online -e poolname device.

its zpool not zfs. but it says it is offline. and what the device for? for my pool i have a 18tb hdd and a 26 tb hhd. going to get another 26tb.

edit: tried to expland and got this error. i also set auto expand to on
cannot expand /dev/disk/by-id/nvme-INTEL_SSDPEDMD800G4K_CVFT724300HQ800MGN: cannot relabel ‘/dev/disk/by-id/nvme-INTEL_SSDPEDMD800G4K_CVFT724300HQ800MGN’: unable to open device: 13

Zil is removeable if I’m not wrong and after add it again which should give you full size.
Or even do a wipe before adding when not working as expected.

Thanks for catching the zpool bit. That’s what I get for responding before coffee! (I’ll fix that up in case someone stumbles on this later.)

I can’t tell from your error, but did you online the device?

i tried that yes. im going to try removing then readding it
in that case. how should i go about i? and risk not losing data, as i know removing it while data is in makes it go bye bye

oh the second one is wrong. its zfs not zpool. the first one is right now though blep
