storage increase

[tvalenti03]

can someone tell me what i am doing wrong if i am at all please...

by using this calculator, http://biduleohm.free.fr/zfsraidsarc/ i came up with this.

Drive size: TB 4
Number of drives: 6
RAID type: (requires at least 5 drives) raidz3
Drive MTBF: Mh
MTTPR: h
Rebuild speed: MiB/s

TiB TB %
Drive size 3.638 4 N/A
Total parity space 10.91 12 50
Total data space 10.91 12 50
Total RAID space 21.83 24 100
Metadata overhead 0.175 0.192 1.6
Blocks overhead 0 0 0
Total overhead 0.175 0.192 1.6
Minimum recommended free space 2.148 2.362 19.68
Usable data space 8.592 9.446 78.72

MTTR: 97.02 h
MTTDL: 1.9 x 10^14 h

now i added these drives by offlining removing and replacing 1 at a time. doing its resilvering process. after all drives were replaced it shows in my pool 18.6 TiB.

however my problem is my dataset is still remaining at 8.4TiB available.(drives i had in before were 2tbx6)

my dataset options are all set to 0 for unlimited. now even though it says 8.4 TiB available will it use the other 10.2 as needed, or will i have to increase my main dataset quota that holds a smb share?

if there is another option i am missing thats much better than please tell me. i plan to increase again soon to 6tb drives. 6x6 and want to utilize all the space i can for this particular dataset. it is not a media server by the way.

thank you in advance.

FreeNAS version?

Also, can you provide a screenshot? That seems rather unusual.

If you have a quota on a parent then all descendants will be limited to that quota amount. So...if the dataset in question is the descendant of a parent dataset that has a quota, this would be expected to see and you'll need to increase the quota limit.

 

[tvalenti03]

there are no quotas set at all.

Post the output of zpool status please.

 

[bigphil]

Please post the output from "zfs get all pool"

[Jailer]

You have a RAIDz3 pool consisting of 6 4TB drives. Half your drives are being used for parity. The available space being shown is correct.

 

[tvalenti03]

hmmm ok. i am going to look at my remote backup and see what that has. i started that one with 4tb drives from the get go.

 

[Ericloewe]

[CODE][/CODE] tags please.

 

[tvalenti03]

oops...fixed

 

[bigphil]

I'm no mathematician, but something seems off in the GUI, but you are running an old version of FreeNAS, so maybe that's it. The first line is listing the Pool available space and I don't know how it could be 18.6TiB when your max would be 10.9TiB with your disk layout. output of "zpool list" please.

 

[tvalenti03]

Code:

zpool list
NAME           SIZE  ALLOC   FREE  EXPANDSZ   FRAG    CAP  DEDUP  HEALTH  ALTROO                    T

i have 3 systems. i tried to update my newest one that is a plex server to 9.10.2u1 and it hung on loading kernel modules. had to go back to 9.10.1-u2. the other two i was going update if all was well but it wasnt so i am not. cant chance these two to be updated and it fails if the main one isnt even in front of me. im doing this all remotely.

 

[tvalenti03]

my remote backup server is having gui issues and wont load my pool. cant even check for updates. thats running the same version as well. sits at loading then 5-10 mins later Sorry, an error occurred.

 

[tvalenti03]

Code:

zpool list                                                    
NAME           SIZE  ALLOC   FREE  EXPANDSZ   FRAG    CAP  DEDUP  HEALTH  ALTROO
T                                                                              
freenas-boot  7.19G  3.00G  4.19G         -      -    41%  1.00x  ONLINE  -

this is from my remote backup. its running 5 drives instead of 6 but they are 4tb each.

 

[bigphil]

Ok, I found out whats going on...."zpool list" is what the GUI first line is showing and this reports actual physical space available to the pool (6x4=24TB or 21.8TiB). So, like @Jailer said, your available space is correct for your disk layout (as the output of "zfs list" shows). It's explained in the zpool(8) man page
