Dear members,
This is my first post here and excuse me for any mistakes.
We purchased a 96TB (16*6TB) storage server and configured it as RAIDZ-2 with two volumes of 48TB (8 drives in each vol). The usable space the server shows is 60TiB (30TiB in each volume) which is 66 Terabytes. From the calculations I made I should be getting a 72TB usable space with RAIDZ2 config. I am loosing 6TB (one drive space) somewhere.
The only reason I can think of is if the OS is installed in a drive and that drive is now totally taken up by FreeNAS. First, how do I check where the OS is installed? I didn't configure the system. I don't think the overheads will be 6TB... Could any one help me out what's happening here?
Thanks and appreciate your time!
