x-raid2 total usable volume
This has probably been covered 10k times but I've used the online x-raid calculator and it is giving me different usabke data than I currently have.
i have a4 bay readynas rn104 with 1x1.5 1x2 and 1x3 tb drives stuck in iit using x-raid. I was expecting 3.5tb usable, minus overhead and os, but it is currently showing 1.8gb usable.
Is this because its an arm CPU? Or is it just reporting this size during the sync. Currently at 64%.
I don't care much about redundancy as it only holds my movies and TV shows. I basically just wanted a single volume and noticed in flexraid i had to partition each disc as a separate volume.
Any suggestions?

What firmware are you running?
You should have about 3.5 TB (3.2 TiB reported) when the volume is fully built. It will need to expand vertically (which requires a reboot). Maybe wait for it to finish, and then report back what you are seeing.
