The first two vdevs use 1 TiB disks, but the third vdev has 3 TiB disks, so that
sounds like a possible explanation... perhaps the contents of /boot previously
resided on one of the 1 TiB vdevs but the new /boot lives on the new vdev
post-upgrade. Is there a zfs admin command to ask which vdev(s) a file or
directory's blocks reside on?

My BIOS is from 2016, so not "old", but possibly old enough?

Thank you,


Jon
