(SOLVED) Unknown utilization

[Erka53]

Dear Community,

 

After using my unraid build for some years i decided to upgrade the drives today.
I started the installation from scratch, i had nothing from the old build that i had to take over to the new one.
After installing more ram and the new drives i started the unraid installation without any problems.

The setup at the moment is:
1900X
64gb ram
1 x 8 tb WD red pro for parity
2 x 4tb WD red pro in the array
1 x 2tb wd red pro in the array
1 x 1tb samsung 870 evo SSD ( unassinged for win10 vm )
Asus RTX2060 6gb

The weird thing i noticed is that when the first disk was in the array it had a +- 30-40gb data utilization
When i added the second disk this grew by a factor 2
Then the third disk ( the 2tb one ) i had half of the above added.

So right now i have a new unraid install with 4 dockers:
Binhex-nzbget
Binhex-radarr
Binhex-sonarr
Portainer CI ( trying to get a visaul view of what is going on )


Plugins:
CA
CA Cleanup appdata
CA mover tuning
Dynamix system info
GPU stats
My servers
Nvidia driver
UD
UD +

As far as i remember i have not seen this behavior before, am i missing something or is this standard?
92.9GB used of 10TB, without me doing anything.

Thanks in advance,

Erwin

The moment you format a drive to create an empty file system you are going to get some space used to hold the file system structures.   Around 1% of the drive size is not atypical and I suspect this is what you are seeing.
