Same for all four disks on the add-in controllers Smilie

But that reminds me. I read when I zpool destroy data is written to the disks so the OS knows the zpool is no longer active. I thought that might be where the missing space was gone, fired up gparted and actually found and deleted two partitions , where one partition was like 8MB, on each disk. In retrospective that might have not been the smartest move ...

Since I still have the option and I don't know how hard it is to fix this mess. Would a reinstall fix my problem?
