Big devices and missing space

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Hello,

I have a Promise EX 12-port RAID controller in my box, connected to 8 750GB disks. I have set up 2 RAID-5 devices and joined these using LVM.

This is working fine.

However, there is something that seems wrong..
(4-1) * 750 = 2250, but df reports the LVM volume as a mere 4.0T;

/dev/mapper/storage_volume-stor  4.0T  3.6T  507G  88% /storage

Shouldn't this be 4.5TB?


Relevant bit of boot log:
