Hit 8Tb limit - how to expand to 18T physical?
Hi all, hoping for suggestions here for an easy(ish) fix... first let me stress that I've had experience in UNIX and I'm not stupid, but my training is out of date and to be honest I find all the tech...
Ok, now I'm puzzled... I DO have four disks per layer, don't I?
Physical drives:
3 3 3 3 2 2
Top layer:
1 1 1 1 - -
Bottom layer:
2 2 2 2 2 2
So I suppose that makes:
1+1+1+2+2+2+2+2 = 13Tb for single redundancy and
1+1+2+2+2+2 = 10Tb for dual redundancy.
I can't see where you got 7Tb :(
You know, all of this would be SO much easier if the RAIDar web control panel would actually give the details of the RAID structure in use. Is this shown anywhere? I've not found it yet...
