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 first let me stress that I've had experience in UNIX and I'm not stupid, but my training is out of date and to be honest I find all the tech...
Well, whichever you think is natural, the mess will remain.
Drive manufacturers (and I believe Apple) use powers-of-10 for storage. Microsoft uses power-of-2 for storage. Linux generally reports bytes, with command line options to do either. Network speeds are always powers-of-10, which creates its own challenge when measuring NAS performance. Memory is always power-of-two.
I try to use TiB for power-of-two storage here, which is the technically correct unit designation.
