Re: zfs question

Look into the pool’s autoexpand option. Once you’re done replacing all disks in the vdev with new ones of the appropriate size, and you’ve enabled that option, the video should expand to its new natural size.

Recently, a disk in the array went bad, so I replaced it with a spare 8T drive that I had on hand.  My understanding is that that the array would only use 4T of that drive, and moreover, that would be true even if I had to replace two more drives with 8T disks.  However, if I replaced the last drive with an 8T disk, so all the disks were now 8T, would the array use all the of the 8T on each of the drives, or still be a 4x4T array?
