Lybra85 Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Hi, I need to clarify one point As you can see from my picture below I need to clarify a misunderstanding. Disk 4 is empty or at least should be....in "Main" it seemes there are almost 68Gb of data, but opening Disk4 it's empty Similar discussion for Disk 3 listed for 279Gb but if I open the Disk and "Calculate" I have 139 Gb Why that? Data for the Parity? How can I do? I would like to empty the two hdd and starting swithing to ZFS but if there are data I don't want to mess up my array Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 As was mentioned an ‘empty’ disk still has space used due to the overhead of creating the directory structures for the empty file system. Quote Link to comment
Lybra85 Posted May 3 Author Share Posted May 3 Ok but......almost 70 Gb seems to be a little bit high as Number.... And what if I format the disk? Quote Link to comment

With XFS, the larger the disk, the larger the overhead. Just now, Lybra85 said: And what if I format the disk? It will be same, unless you format with a different filesystem, btrfs and zfs don't have basically any overhead, just a few KBs. Quote Link to comment
