Why is Volume Size below calculated?
Hi, I just had to rebuild a chassis (EDA500) from scratch. I did the following: 1. Powered down. 2. Removed drives 3. Deleted partitions 4. Inserted drives 5. Powered on 6. Selected new...
- That's fine.
If you don't have any unused drive in the chassis and only one volume per chassis, then turn on X-RAID, and your volume should expand (vertical expansion).
The DATA volume has steadily been upgraded from all 3s. The eda500 is a brand new build after starting over with it.
Both are RAID5 configured.
Yes, it seems they are both over nearly 2 TB too small, while i have another eda with all 3 TB drives and it is right on estimate.
Seems fine? (Side note, just upgraded firmware from like 6.2.4 to latest...related?)

For the EDA, you need to check on whether the vertical expansion occured for the two 8 TB drives.
