Hi.
I have Proxmox-backup server installed as a VM in Proxmox. I am trying to increase the partition of the pbs.

Proxmox Version: 7.2-4/
Proxmox Backup Version: 2.0-4

This is what I've done so far:
  1. I have increased the disk in the Proxmox GUI (+500GB).
  2. Used "resize2fs" to increase the partition in pbs.
  3. I set "zpool set autoexpand=on" for the partition.
  4. I ran "zpool online -e"

EXPANDSZ shows the 496Gb that I want to make usable:

Code:
root@pbs:~# zpool list
NAME       SIZE  ALLOC   FREE  CKPOINT  EXPANDSZ   FRAG    CAP  DEDUP    HEALTH  ALTROOT
backup01  2.44T  2.36T  78.0G        -      496G    14%    96%  1.00x    ONLINE  -

Can somebody tell me what I need to do next? I'm stuck here :-(
 
Did you try a zpool export backup01 and zpool import backup01?
I've seen that as a step at several places for expanding a pool. But not sure if that is actually needed. But shouldn't hurt to test it.

Thank you, but unfortunately, export & import didn't change anything.
