"OS6" - a question or three
First, a direct question: I'm currently running my Pro BE's with 5 or 6 disks using "x-raid2" and "dual redundancy." (RAID6 with the xraid2 expansion scheme.) I downloaded the manual for one of...
Okay... a new question. ;)
I started with 4 drives installed (1x1TB, 3x2TB) configured to RAID6 which I then converted to XRAID. As I expected, the drive combination provided just under 2TG of space.
I then inserted an additional 2TB drive, so the combination is now 1x1TB, 4x2TB. I expected the space to jump up to about 4.6TB of usable space. However, it only went up to 3.63TB. All 5 drives show up in frontview and are listed as being online, but the space calculation makes me feel as if the 1TB drive is being dropped out of the array in favor of the new 2TB.
Using the xraid calculator linked in mdgm's sig, it confirms that xraid/raid6 with the installed drive combination should be 4.577 TB.
Are my assumptions (and the calculator) wrong? What am I missing?
Edit: Is this the answer to my question? viewtopic.php?f=7&t=77385#p431408 (In other words, do I just need to sit on my hands and be patient?)
Okay, another question: Is there a way to set up or change the "default" security profile for creating new shares? I see that in AD environments, new shares are read/write everyone by default. This is A Bad Thing for my purposes. Someone might create a new share and forget to get rid of that default permission...
