DiscoverIt Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 What could be the cause in which drives formatted with XFS-encrypted show the full capacity while ZFS-encrypted shows a slightly reduced value? All three disks also show the exact same partition size Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 zfs uses about 4% overhead for metaslab allocation and slop space reservation: https://wintelguy.com/2017/zfs-storage-overhead.html Quote Link to comment
DiscoverIt Posted October 5, 2023 Author Share Posted October 5, 2023 I would have assumed the overall total disk size would have come from the disk level and not the filesystem level. XFS has similar metadata but unraid shows it as used space vs a reduction in capacity. Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 zfs is different since it reserves that space, it can be changed if you want to be a little less. Quote Link to comment
