X-Raid 2 Confusion
I am installing my 3rd Ultra 6 - I have the following volume config why is volume so small? Disk space 212 MB (0%) of 2212 GB used Configuration: RAID Level X-RAID2, 5 disks (with dual redun...
Nope adding 2 more 3 TB Drives did not help.
I even then did a Factory reset did not help.
Disk space 216 MB (0%) of 2951 GB used
Configuration: RAID Level X-RAID2, 6 disks (with dual redundancy)
Status: Resync 3% complete, Time to finish 4 hr 48 min, Speed 42.6 MB/sec

If it never see's more than 746 GB of space that seems a waste of money to use 3TB or 2TB drives
How do I get more space while still using 2 Disk redundancy because it's more like 5 Disks of redundancy not two.
