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 first let me stress that I've had experience in UNIX and I'm not stupid, but my training is out of date and to be honest I find all the tech...

Personally I think the power-of-10 units (TB) are more natural.
My recollection is that power-of-2 (TiB) was a Microsoft hack (back in the DOS days) because they wanted to avoid division, and use a right shift instead. The answer is close if you are looking at KB (back in the floppy disk days), but not so close by the time you reach TB/TiB.
