the explanations make sense. what I noticed actully is all within Ubuntu the Free Space is fairly accurate! when that same disk is shared/viewed over SMB in Windows it is significantly less, e.g. Ubtunu: 510GB free; Windows (mounted over SMB): 8.9 GB free. not sure how to explain that one - will have to do some research. maybe something in the SMB protocol as SMB on OS-X also shows same as windows (off by < 1GB, but close enough). -- i see re: Wasted Space now - thanks!

Is there a good FAQ on the menaing of the various values reported by snapraid status? Wasted Space - I can't tell if this is what I should have "free" on that specific data disk or something else. I know I have less than that free on some of my data disks but snapraid never reports an error... Free GB is definitely not the free space on the data disk. what is it referring to then? Used GB - same as free DB. it's not the used space on the data disk - Re: Parity - I have max 3x10TB Parity drives and...

i have a snapraid setup with 2 4TB parity disks and 8 4TB data disks i want to start upgrading the drives to min 10TB and would start with three 10TB to replace the two parity and 1 data disk. is this as easy as just adding the new drives, copying the files from existing parity and data, then mounting the new drives at the same mount point? essentially i wan to replace, not add to, the 4TB drives. would prefer to do thismwithout resync'ing if possible. thanks!

i have a 2 parity setup on ubuntu three content files, one on the boot drive (drive failed) and two on data drives i am rebuilding the boot drive and intend to update snapraid . are the teo remaining content files enough to recoverithout having to essentially restart synching the entire array? i can piece together the new snapraid.conf file. but effectively i will have lost one content file thanks
