VDEVs not assigned

[cabro]

I recently upgraded my TrueNAS Scale to Bluefin and all went well. The next thing I wanted to do was replace two of my NVME's with larger ones. I didn't have any important data on those drives so what I did was Export/Disconnect the pool and selected the options, Destroy all data on this pool, Delete configuration of the shares used in this pool, and Confirm Export/Disconnect.

Once that was done I shut down the server and removed the two NVME's and installed the larger one's and booted back up. Once booted up I created a new mirrored VDEV just like I had before. The issue I noticed is that the new pool in addition to my other two pools that I never touched, all say VDEVs not assigned (screenshot attached). I did a search for "VDEVs not assigned" but didn't get any hits.

I still seem to be able to access my shares data (on the pools I didn't touch) on my other PC so everything seems ok so not to sure what the issue is.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I will pre-emptively agree with you saying "well, that's really dumb of the developers to have laid the pool Topology display out like this".

If you read something like this, what do you see:

There is no: ERROR to worry about

Some people (maybe you) see "ERROR to worry about" and are concerned.

What's being shown in each of the lines on a pool topology display is the number and layout of each potential type of VDEV that the pool may possibly have.

Since none of your pools have anything else than a Mirror used for data, you only see your VDEV listed on the first line... all of the other lines represent VDEV types that you don't have, so it shows that you don't have them.

Thank you so much for your reply. I was definitely reading it wrong (as an error to worry about). Thanks for clearing that up for me!
