Could you run zpool status ?

And what is zpool import returning? Maybe there is an unimported pool also called "ssd960" where that EVO is already part of?

You can try to clear the 2TB drive (delete all partitions) and call directly to the zpool replace (without creating the partition table). It should create a single partition, for zfs only. As it's not a boot drive, it works well.

Hmm I think you need to run a zpool labelclear first.

So, run it:

Bash: 
zpool labelclear ata-Samsung_SSD_870_EVO_2TB_S6PNNS0W213686T-part1
zpool replace -f ssd960 ata-KINGSTON_SA400S37960G_50026B778439F033 ata-Samsung_SSD_870_EVO_2TB_S6PNNS0W213686T

Wow, that's it :)

I usually run watch zpool status -v to monitor the resilvering process :)

It is done?? not sure what to do next.
Click to expand...

Yes, the resilvering process was done.

You can run zpool list to see the current size of your pool.
If it's 1TB only, you can follow my first message on this thread to extend it to 2TB :)
If you cant extend because of an 8MB partition between the ZFS partition and the free space, you can use something like gparted to move the 8MB partition to the end of the drive, like @Dunuin mentioned and then resize the ZFS partition, after that, you can resize the zpool :)

Great!!! that finally worked and I have a 1.8 TB

Code: 
root@mainsrv:/dev# zpool list
NAME     SIZE  ALLOC   FREE  CKPOINT  EXPANDSZ   FRAG    CAP  DEDUP    HEALTH  ALTROOT
ssd960  1.81T   823G  1.01T        -         -    24%    44%  1.00x    ONLINE  -

Now I will try to figure out how to move all the contents on the old disk to the new one.

Thanks again GabrielLando!

It should be already there :) when you did the zpool replace, it copied everything to the new drive. So all files should be in the new drive. If you take a look at the ALLOC, you will see you are using 823G.

Gabriel. I'm seeing a something weird now.

After booting one of the VMs (the one that uses this storage), I got a QEMU error, because I fissically remove the old 1TB disk. I manage to detach it on the webadmin and the VM booted ok. After one hour I found this:
