July 31, 201312 yr I've upgraded disks many times before and have never had a problem with the drive showing the correct capacity. I recently replaced a 1TB with a 3TB, unraid saw it offered to proceed with the data-rebuild. I went through and and now I'm running low on space again. I just noticed the 3TB is showing as 2TB on the Main Unraid tab. I'm running version 5.0-rc16b. My parity is a 3TB as well. Does anyone know why this would have happened and what I can do to fix it?
July 31, 201312 yr Just a thought, maybe the company you bought the Harddrive from sent you a 2TB instead of a 3TB.
July 31, 201312 yr Does the sata/sas controller you have the drive connected to support >2TB? I recently installed a new 3TB drive and it was only showing up at 2TB as my LSI card only supported 2TB. My other 3TB drives just happened to all be on the mobo ports.
July 31, 201312 yr The most likely issue is as noted above => you have one controller that supports > 2TB drives; and another that does not. The only fix is to move the drive to a controller that supports the larger drives; but you'll first need to either replace it with a 2TB drive (so you can safely remove it); OR copy all of the data off that drive; then run the system at risk by creating a new configuration (with the drive on a controller that supports it) => the system will be at risk until parity is re-calculated.
July 31, 201312 yr Author Ahh man, I just remoted home to check on the model. It looks like Amazon did indeed send me a 2TB! I ordered it earlier this year after a sale and only put it in the server a month ago. That's what I get for not being on the ball I guess. Thank you fro the help.

I really thought that was a long shot... You may still try and talk with Amazon about that. You never know and amazon is pretty good about making the customer happy (at least in my experience).
July 31, 201312 yr Before you complain to Amazon ... check your receipt !! ... I suspect you actually ordered a 2TB drive if that's what they sent you (although it IS possible they shipped the wrong one).

I ordered it earlier this year after a sale and only put it in the server a month ago. That's what I get for not being on the ball I guess. Thank you fro the help. I had the exact problem two months ago. One of the 3TB drives I ordered was the 2TB model. It was in a box labeled (not by factory) as a 3TB drive. Had to do a quick exchange on that (they sent correct one immediately while they waited on the incorrect one to come back).
