Hi all,
I hope you can help
I've replaced 4 x 4TB drives in a RAID 5 Think volume with 6 x 10TB drives.
Ive replaced them one by one
I've added the 2 x 10TB drives to the RAID group and expanded, the RAID group see's all 6 x 10TB drive (each with 9.10TB of usable space)
The original used space before anything has changed is 10TB
I was expecting to see around 54TB maximum volume size reduced to 44TB of free space
I'm seeing 34TB of free space
Am I missing something or am I missing 10TB from somewhere?

Re: Missing 10TB after replacing Drives
Seems all correct. A raid5 pool with 6 disks (each 9.1TB) and a 45TB volume (=5x9).
In a raid5 one disk is for parity.

A raid is never a substitute for backup! Never!
