Hi,
I need help understanding how FreeNAS does it storage because it seems it eats all your storage up for redundancy.
I have 12 x 8TB drives = 96TB
FreeNAS created a Volume of 87TB
I created a DataStore and says it's total space is 56.1TB
Then I get warnings that my Volume is over 80% my volume is at 81% right now.
So what I'm understanding is zraid and FreeNAS take half my hard drives?
There is redundancy between the 96TB and 87TB now it wants more redundancy? That's almost 50% redundancy from the total TB's installed.
Something just doesn't add up here. Maybe I setup the DataStore or Volumes incorrect?
When do I run out of space? at 87TB or 56.1TB?
So when my Volume hits 81% which is 69TB, but my DataStore is around 47TB and about 82% full I'm out of hard drive space? If that is so I actually run out of hard drive space before my DataStore is full?
