I've switched = it on, but it hasn't expanded. Perhaps it only expands when it's loaded? = Another reboot in order then..... Ah, no, that didn't work. It's still the same size: # zpool get all void NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE void size 126G - void capacity 89% - void altroot - default void health ONLINE - void guid 10894823139123390159 default void version 28 default void bootfs void local void delegation on default void autoreplace off default void cachefile - default void failmode wait default void listsnapshots off default void autoexpand on local void dedupditto 0 default void dedupratio 1.00x - void free 13.6G - void allocated 112G - void readonly off - So, yes please, I could do with some more suggestions. Thanks :). Joe
