November 7, 201114 yr I completed adding 4 new 2TB drives. Once formatted the shares still report the same free space as before. I left the included disks fields blank so it should use all of the drives. What am I missing?
November 7, 201114 yr If i am not mistaken, while using SMB via windows as a client at least, your share will not tally in the new drive space into the share until the share has touched those drive. if your share is "Media", add a folder to each drive "Media". (\\tower\disk20 for example) then stop and restart the array... because "media" in this example only exists on X number of drives, that is the total number of drives/space it counts. Once you expand it to "X+(new dives)" it will update X and reflect all drives.
