Raid 5 issue on a Pro 6

[Jolissa]

I am having issues with my Pro 6. I have never been able to get my Raid 5 storage to make sense. Is the total storage figure below correct? I thought it should read higher than 10TB.

Am I missing something?

Sounds like you may have hit the 8TB volume expansion limit.

What capacity disks and how many were installed when you last did a factory reset (wipes all data, settings, everything)?

That looks more like the space expected from RAID-6.

Can you send in your logs (see the Sending Logs link in my sig)?

Thanks, logs sent (I hope).

I would have no idea. I would only be guessing. Can you point me to a thread that talks about getting around this issue?

I also have 6x3TB installed , you should see 13 TiB on that page (which is the same as 15 TB).

If you've run into the 8 TB growth limit (which is likely) you will need to do a factory reset and then restore all the data from backup.
