After a Resync the volume has now expanded showing correct size 18.07TB instead of 14.43

Mar 13, 2017After downloading the logfiles you might want to check btrfs.log to see how the partitions are truely layed out and you will see something like this
Label: 'xxx:data' uuid: yyy
Total devices 2 FS bytes used 7.59TiB
devid 1 size 5.44TiB used 3.70TiB path /dev/md127
devid 2 size 10.92TiB used 3.91TiB path /dev/md126
I have 4x6TB RN204, which in raid5 finally results into a volume of roughly 16.5TiB. Which is exactly that, what one would expect in this case.

There's a download control on the log page in the web ui. That will download the full log zipfile.
Your volume appears to be 4 TB short. There are three possibilities.
- You could be running dual redundancy
- The btrfs volume might not have expanded when the last disk was added (even if all disks are in the RAID array).
- One disk might not be part of the active RAID array (despite the status shown in your screenshot)..
In the last case, one of the disks might be marked as a "spare" in the logs. Try looking through btrfs.log, mdstat.log and volume.log.
- pgjscottieukMar 14, 2017Guide
Have looked through the files you have mentioned cant find anything suggesting a spare have attached thanks again for help
There did seem to be a spare at the end of the mdstat.log number 3 ?

Yes, one of the disks has been marked as a spare.
It's also clear that your volume was created on very old firmware.
- Retired_MemberMar 13, 2017
On the admin webpage in the logfile tab you can download a zipfile containing 60+ logfiles amongst them btrfs.log.

There is also an OS partition (4GB) and a swap partition (500MB I think) on every drive.
So, by order of importance:
1. RAID redundancy.
2. HDD manufacturer fantasy 1000 factor, implying difference between TB and TiB.
3. 4GB OS + 500MB Swap per HDD.
4. FS overhead.
I think you're right about the spare.
