Hello all!
I have a problem that I hope someone can help me resolve.
I've recently installed FreeNAS 9.1.1 on a server with 8x3TB disks, and set them up as RAIDZ2. However when the pool was created - the available space is now being shown as 10TB. So it looks like it's less than half of total disk space.
[root@nas1-ny] ~# df -h /mnt/export
Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
export 10T 256k 10T 0% /mnt/export
I was under the impression that with RAIDZ2 you only lose the capacity of 2 disks, so the capacity should be 24TB - 6TB =~ 18TB. Where did the rest of the space go???
At the same time, when any files are created on the file system, it seems that zpool reports that the amount of space used is double that of the file size.
Anybody knows what's up with that?
[root@nas1-ny] ~# zpool list
NAME SIZE ALLOC FREE CAP DEDUP HEALTH ALTROOT
export 21.8T 821G 20.9T 3% 1.60x ONLINE /mnt
Oh, I also used the 2 additional 2.5-inch disks that were also in the server, that I didn't know what to do with, as ZIL (mirrored).
