Missing a lot of disk Space after importing Volume

[shabazRaymond]

Just brought a new 1TB Seagate HD. Imported the volume as a UFS format, but for some reason my free available space is way down to 829TB. Thats a lot of space missing. Not sure why this is happening?

Are you sure it isn't reporting 829 TiB? See the differences between Terabyte and Tebibyte.

Bought a new HD and imported it as UFS?

HOW?

Probably still running 9.2.x

For the OP, please supply detailed hardware and software information, as dictated by the forum rules.

On second look, I think you got the deal of the century. You bought a 1TB drive and ended up with something 829 times larger.

Nothing is wrong, this is normal and how it works with all filesystems. Read up on TB vs TiB.

I had to do a double take when I read Depasseg casually referring to the 829TB. For a minute there, I thought this was a candidate for largest pool on the forum. :D
