Do llist volume=<name> -- my suspicion is that you made the changes to
the pool config AFTER you created the volumes. This will not work, as
the pool is really just a template for new volume creation. You'll need
to do update volumes from pool (part of the update command) to freshen
the volumes with new pool settings.

Same command -- it provides you all of the information on a volume and
is usually invaluable to find out what's going on. Post the results to
the list and you'll probably get some help.

You'll have to see why that might be by listing the params.
