Hello,

>aggr status <aggr_name> -v

And if you want to modify raid size of a raid group:
>aggr options <aggr_name> raidsize <value>

If you want to fill your exsisting raid groups you need to use -g option when using >aggr add command.
If you change the raid group size and add some disks to your aggregate without -g option, in your case it would fill the rg1
first with the new rg size value and then start a new raid group rg2.
Rg0 would remain smaller. -g option allows you to speficy rg where the disks are added.
