zpool_expansion time

two new WD80EFPX disks, with four labels resting on top, for these two plus the last two disks i added handwritten labels, partially cut from a page out of a notebook like a flyer for a lost dog, showing that ocean5x0 used to be ocean4x1 those four disks, now with labels printed by a label printer those four disks, now installed in a define 7 xl

  1. two new disks! unlike the WD80EFZZ, the WD80EFPX doesn’t seem to let you set the idle timer (wdidle3, idle3ctl). will need to keep an eye on those load cycle counts

  2. gonna interleave them with the last pair of disks i added, so we don’t end up with two mirror vdevs having both of their disks bought at the same time

  3. started writing my usual “lost dog, responds to ocean” labels by hand, but @ariashark reminded me we have a label printer now, so i redid them (and then redid ocean4x1 again, because it needs to be ocean4x2 now)

  4. installed! define 7 xl now at 14 disks and two ssds :3
