Expanding a ZFS RAID0 pool

Last updated: sept. 9 2020

Intro

I was in a situation where I needed to migrate two disks in a ZFS RAID0 pool. The goal was to extend the ZFS pool by replacing the disks with larger ones. Each disk was encrypted with LUKS.

Schema

Migration

First I will do a copy from sda 2To disk to sdc 4To disk thanks to dd tool.

Commands

Export (unmount) pool

root@host:~# zpool export raid0_01

Close LUKS

root@host:~# cryptsetup luksClose zfs01_crypt

Copy disk 1 to disk 3

root@host:~# dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdc bs=8M status=progress dd operation on two disks

Resize the partition

root@host:~# parted /dev/sdc
(parted) resizepart
Partition number? 1
End?  [2000,0GB]? 4001,0GB
(parted) print

Open LUKS

root@host:~# cryptsetup luksOpen zfs01_crypt

Rezize LUKS

root@host:~# cryptsetup resize zfs01_crypt -v parted operation on two disks

Now we have to do the same operation with sdb disk.

Import and resize the new ZFS pool

Import (mount) zfs pool

root@host:~# zpool import -a

Rezize zfs pool

root@host:~# zpool online -e raid0_01 zfs01_crypt
