I have just upgraded my zfs pool with new hard drives and it's still reading with the old storage space with autoexpand on. The upgraded space is suppose to be 23.7T but it still reads 18.1T free when I run the zfs list command. See the attached screenshots
OMV not expanding my ZFS pool size after HD upgrade

Do you mean the OMV UI is still seeing the old size? Cos I don’t see an issue in the screenshots you posted.
Try exporting the pool then reimporting using the UI.

Hang on, one is TB one is TiB?
Edit: yeah... TB from CLI, TiB in the plugin.
Maybe this could be changed to avoid confusion? @ryecoaaron @subzero79
@MiXeDeMoTiOnS google “TB to TiB” to get a converter and have a look at the differences between them. The values are as they should be.

Everything in the web interface is GiB or TiB. I think it would be more confusing to change just the zfs plugin. The only thing I see to change the CLI is the -p flag which changes it to bytes.

Fair enough
What about a footnote?
“Please note: sizes displayed here are in TiB to stay in line with OMV. Sizes displayed by the zpool command are in TB.”
Or is this just stupid?

Most plugins have an area to put notes like that. The zfs plugin is one of them that does not. So, not sure where to put the note. That said, I'm sure we will always have the problem since a lot of windows users re-use drives that they had in Windows and wonder why the capacity is different under linux

True. But I think this is particularly confusing because users who run OMV and ZFS may eventually find themselves using the ZFS tools in the CLI and there is a mismatch between the way they each display sizes. At least if you moved from Win to Linux you don’t have 2 different figures staring at you. But then I suppose one could also argue that if you’re using the command line and the ZFS tools in the terminal then you should probably notice that one is TB and one is TiB. Took me a second to spot it... but then I don’t use the plugin to manage my pools. I use it so my pools are available as shares.

Actually you do have different figures since Windows shows in GB/TB and the OMV web interface is showing GiB/TiB. This has confused quite a few people new to OMV. I don't have any ideas to make this better other than if you are using ZFS, pay attention to the unit it is using

I meant on the same system at the same time. Ie. Look at the CLI you get one, at the GUI the other - if you’ve left Windows behind you won’t be looking at those numbers. But yes, knowledge is probably the best solution

If only we could get more people to do that
