One upon a time, I have found alarm in my storage.
I start to investigate it and found that I have too small free disk space. Actually, I found it before alarm, but I need to write something epic…

I look at the capacity trend and found that I have only about 6 TB of free space and used more then 100 TB. It means that I have not so much time to do something. You can see the graph of our work progress. This year is mostly “linear” so at the time when I realize that I need more space I had enough time to expand it.

I look at the storage pool with low free space and found that I can’t expand it – I have no free space on my disks.

But I have a free space for disks. That is good! Because I don’t need to buy disk enclosure with the disks.

Here they are! My pleasure! My Christmas boxes! These are NL-SAS disks. They are slow but have big capacity – exactly what I need during this pandemic time – less money, more space.
I wear protection gloves and start to work with disks.
First I remove the blanks from the disk enclosure. Actually I try to record it on video… But it wasn’t easy in gloves and I decide to don’t show you how I did it.
Next goes disks. New disks are already equipped with holders and all I need to do is just “click, click, click them all”.
Next step is add disks to the disk domain.

Next step is expanding of the storage pool.
