Delete Filesystem Automatic - Restore to Pool?

When you delete a filesystem I was under the impression it was suppose to automatically reclaim the space and add it the storage pool. For some reason this is not happening or I do not see it yet, I did a rescan and still no dice. Is there something else I have to do to reclaim the space after I delete a file system back to the storage pool. I had a 500 GB system I deleted it and then recreated it with the same name as 100 but have not regained or see the 400GB space.

    Did you delete it from GUI (Celerra manager) or through CLI? Also, are you using AVM (Automated Volume manager) or manually managing the volumes and pool?

    You may check the server_log whether the file system deleteion process was completed successfully.

    It seems to me that the filesystem is deleted but not the metavolume on which it was residing.

    Under volumes I see a 500 MB volume that is used by nothing, I assume this belonged to the old file system that I deleted.

    Ohh - perfect timing - while I was posting my message, your update came.

    Anyway - good to see that, you found the issue and as I anticipated right, it was not a part of AVM pool.

    Have a great weekend.
    Thanks,

    Found the issue. The problem was this file system in particular was created outside of the AVM pool. So what I did was reclaim the space by deleting that volume then created a separate pool on the volumes not part of AVM and that pool had same backend raid type so it can be used to extend an already existing file system that uses the avm poo
