Awesome.
So current setup is this:
===GIVEN:===
Given: 6 drives
Given Size [base 10]: 18000.000 GB = 18.000 TB
Given Size [base 2]: 16763.806 GB = 16.371 TB
==RESULTS (Will go below):==
Single Disk Redundancy
Disk Space with Raid 5 [base 10]: 15000.000 GB = 15.000 TB
Final Useable/Filesystem Size with Raid 5 [base 2]: 13881.714 GB = 13.772 TB
Want to go to this:
===GIVEN:===
Given: 6 drives
Given Size [base 10]: 20000.000 GB = 20.000 TB
Given Size [base 2]: 18626.451 GB = 18.190 TB
==RESULTS (Will go below):==
Single Disk Redundancy
Disk Space with Raid 5 [base 10]: 16000.000 GB = 16.000 TB
Final Useable/Filesystem Size with Raid 5 [base 2]: 14808.959 GB = 14.692 TB
Now based on the note:
(2) An expansion that causes the Total Filesystem size to be 16 TB or more after the expansion will fail.
* These sizes refer to the Filesystem Sizes, not raw disk space.
Am I going to have a problem?
