I was surprised to see only 993GB in /tank/. Is this expected, or is it user error? Also, these disks are completely unformatted. I expected to do a newfs or something similar, and for it to take a bit of time! This is on a running 7.2-STABLE amd64 system. It is only these two disks that I want as ZFS, the rest are UFS2 cheers -- John
