Expansion size not adding up..... Any comments!!!
I have Ultra 6 with 4x 2TB (Seagates: ST32000542AS) and just recently added 2x3TB WD (WDC WD30EZRS-00J99B0 ) I was expecting 11TB more or less, but some how the the NAS only see 9TB on Frontview/or...
So you're using X-RAID2 single-redundancy?
Don't forget that the NAS considers 1KB = 1024 Bytes whereas disk manufacturers consider 1KB = 1000 Bytes,
So 11TB of redundant storage is really: 11000 * 1000^3 / 1024^3 = 10244.5GB
Of course there's overheads as well, so the actual volume capacity would be less.
What is the volume status under Volumes > Volume Settings in Frontview?
Have you tried rebooting the NAS? Perhaps vertical expansion has not taken place yet.
