Hi,
I've been running a bare metal DSM 4,2 on a N54L for a couple of years and last week I migrated to a new bare metal solution, also on a N54L but with DSM 5.0 4528 update 2.
My original setup had the following HDDs;
4TBx1
3TBx1
2TBx3
SHR Raid with 1 disk fault-tolerance
I don't recall the exact volume size that made available, but I remember it was a little over >8TB
Current setup with 4HDDs (1 less hdd but overall same disk space as I swapped 2x2TB with 1x4TB)
4TBx2
3TBx1
2TBx1
SHR Raid with 1 disk fault-tolerance
I would think that with this setup I would have the same size as before, that is, >8TB but I don't, I only have 7.21TB.
According to synology raid calculator, I should have 9TB but we all know that x1000 vs x1024 battle which is why the 9 actually become a little over 8, but I don't see why I only have 7.2
Even weirder, I did not start with this 4 HDD configuration on my new setup. I started with 4TB + 4TB + 1TB + 2TB and I had 6.something TB, and then I replaced the 1TB with a 3TB and instead of getting 2 extra TBs I got less than 1tb.
Any ideas on what did I do wrong ?
PS: smart info is ok, No errors on any of the drives nor bad sectors.
Thank you.
