Hello ,
I started an Install with three 4T hard disks generated the pool.
Then I added a fourth 4T disk and it seems that the Total pool is not at the desired size.
Could you explain the procedure for me to generate a global pool of the size of 12T I am TRaid by default
thanks for your advice

Hi, please use our RAID calculator
https://support.terra-master.com/raidca ... n/?lang=en
You can edit volume size under control panel>volume, if you can't edit it, please expand volume manually

From the screenshot, the size of the storage pool is 10.88T, but volume 1 has only used 7.26T.
You need to manually expand the capacity of volume 1.

hi,
I do that :
Open the TOS
.._Open the DASHBOARD
...._storage _POOL
......_VOLUME
........_Select the storage pool you want to modify
.........._MODIFY
............_"MAX" key
But I don't seem to have the maximum space allocated.
With the raid calculator, I have the impression that I'm supposed to have 12 terra available (out of 16), which doesn't seem to be the case
To date, I have no data on any of the disks. Should I reset everything or can I use a simpler solution to allocate the missing space ?

The manufacturer's stated capacity of 12TB is based on decimal conversion, while the operating system displays capacity based on binary conversion. Therefore, converting 12TB results in approximately 10.88TB, which is normal.

ok
So the current state of the capacity shown is the one that is real and optimally effective on my NAS containing the 16T of disk.
thanks
