-## Update: Upgrade to 4TB drives
-
-> Update: 27.01.2026 I have since replaced the 1TB drives with 4TB drives for more storage capacity. The upgrade procedure was different for each node:
-
-### Upgrading f1 (simpler approach)
-
-Since f1 is the replication sink, the upgrade was straightforward:
-
-* 1. Physically replaced the 1TB drive with the 4TB drive
-* 2. Re-setup the drive as described earlier in this blog post
-* 3. Re-replicated all data from f0 to f1 via zrepl
-* 4. Reloaded the encryption keys as described in this blog post
-* 5. Set the mount point again for the encrypted dataset, explicitly as read-only (since f1 is the replication sink)
-
-### Upgrading f0 (using ZFS resilvering)
-
-For f0, which is the primary storage node, I used ZFS resilvering to avoid data loss:
-
-* 1. Plugged the new 4TB drive into an external USB SSD drive reader
-* 2. Attached the 4TB drive to the zdata pool for resilvering
-* 3. Once resilvering completed, detached the 1TB drive from the zdata pool
-* 4. Shutdown f0 and physically replaced the internal drive
-* 5. Booted with the new drive in place
-* 6. Expanded the pool to use the full 4TB capacity:
-
-```sh
-paul@f0:~ % doas zpool online -e /dev/ada1
-```
-
-* 7. Reloaded the encryption keys as described in this blog post
-* 8. Set the mount point again for the encrypted dataset
-
-This was a one-time effort on both nodes - after a reboot, everything was remembered and came up normally. Here are the updated outputs:
