Hi I am new to FreeNAS. I created a RAIDZ1 total of four 3TB drives. I send my migrated my data to the new RAIDZ using zfs send receive. Can somebody explain me why i have 5.6TiB used if I only have in reality 4.1TiB of actual data? The difference between the two is 1.5TiB. What is the 1.5TiB of data being used for?

The top row is raw disk space and does not consider parity. For a 4-wide RAIDZ1 vdev, that means 33% more space used than in the row below.
