Yup I ran the command then rebooted but but the pool is still showing the old capacity. The oracle docs say you can use the command before or after the other steps but maybe Proxmox gets confused if you run it after like I did. Thanks for the help though.

This is my problem. The Proxmox wiki says to do the following followed by installing the bootloader on the new disk. # sgdisk <healthy bootable device> -R <new device> # sgdisk -G <new device> # zpool replace -f <pool> <old zfs partition> <new zfs partition> The first line is copying the...

One of my the drives in my mirrored root ZFS rpool died on me. I have swapped both of original drives with new larger ones. Everything went smoothly and things are running great however I am struggling with expanding the partition to utilize the space of the larger drives. I used "zpool set...

Thank you for taking the time to explain everything with such detail. I've learned a lot!

I recently got a great deal on a used Dell OptiPlex 7040 SFF that I plan to run PVE 6.3 on. The system has a single M.2 NVME slot and only uses a single SATA power cable coming from the motherboard that splits out to a standard sized SATA power and a slimline SATA power that connects to the...
