3 x 16TB and 1 x 10TB TRAID becomes 5.43TB

[WannesICT]

Hey All,

New to ToS,

Installing a F423 with 3x 16TB (seagate ST16000NM0001G) and 1 x 10TB drives (placeholder as one 16TB drive was DOA)

after having some issues getting the system itself live and installed ( a semi dead drive can send you on a merry goose chase) we installed the system as stated above.

We used a TRAID as we will have to replace the placeholder drive before long.

When creating a storage pool the result is one storage pool with 5.43TB capacity, using all drives.

Please advise.https://drive.google.com/file/d/14BtEbZ ... sp=sharing

FYI when not using the 10TB drive in the TRAID i get 28,95TB of space.

So I am suspecting that the issue is with the 10TB drive somehow?

As a placeholder drive we installed a ST10000VX0004-1ZE101

replacement drive installed
created new storage pool
issue dissapeared. Looks like the 10TB somehow created a wrong size calulation for Traid
resovled

I have to correct myself

The 4th drive was installed with the same 16TB drive and the issue reappeared, switching to raid 5 for testing ( havent found a way yet to edit my own posts sorry )

[WannesICT]

switching to RAID 5 shows the correct size amount
problem is only with TRAID on 4 drives

TLDR
RAID5 doesnt show the TRAID size issue
