I recently added a new ssd and a parity drive to my system. Weird thing is, unlike all the other drives I can see their capacities and activity in my dashboard or main page.

 

Anyone know whats going on?

Parity has no file system, so no free space, cache2 is part of a  pool, only info for the first pool disk is shown, representing the hole pool, it's normal.

thanks for the reply.

 

However, if it was representing the whole pool, shouldn't it be showing more than 94 gb of space with one 120GB ssd and one 60GB ssd?

Just for interest, which is the drive you added to the cache?    If you expected it to add extra space, then this would not be the case in the default configuration of raid-1.  In fact if the new one was the 60GB drive you may have reduced the available space as with 2 drives of mismatched sizes the available space is effectively that of the smaller drive.

I added the 60 GB one. It was more of a "because I can" decision.

 

Now I get that why the space wouldnt show. What about the disk activity though?

Disk activity is shown by the read/write counters.

 

Space is incorrectly reported when using different sized devices, this is a BTRFS limitation, with your current pool config you'll only be able to use 60GB.

I am confused by your title, because your attached picture shows nothing wrong. This is expected behaviour.
