Hi, new to FreeNAS but have been scouring the forums and web for the last week or so since the hardware has been on order trying to learn and prepare.
I completely understand that there is a 2gb per-drive allocation for swap space. With that I would expect the size difference to be negligible, however, I'm about 1TB off.
4x2tb drives
I'm expecting 4 drives - 1 drive = 3 drives * 2tb == 6TB of usable space.
There were a lot of posts on this in the forums but they all seemed to be over minimal differences in space and related to the 2GB swap allocation.
A point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. I'm holding off on copying my data back to the NAS until after I figure this out, which makes it inaccessible, but will save me grief if I need to fix something I did wrong and reformat.
Thanks much!
P.S. I'm using the latest available release version
