I recently had to rebuild my freenas box. Been using freenas since 2004. Pretty comfortable with it. But I have noticed something odd lately.
I put 6 x 2tb drives in as 2 raidz vdevs in a pool.
I got an alert that I was almost full and I looked and it said I had 5.2 tb of storage total. Seemed odd, but ok. I added another raidz vdev (3 x 1.5tb) and it showed I added another 2.7 tb to my storage. Cool. That was just a couple days ago which put me around the 8tb of storage. But now my vol is showing a total space of 6.4tb.
Am I missing something?
6 x 2tb drives + 3 x 1.5tb = 6.4tb? I know there is the obvious loss for parity and file system ect ect. But what I would assume before file system space to be around 11tb is now reporting at 6.4tb. Thats over 4TB of missing storage.
Any help would be appreciated! Thank you.
