Hello everyone,
I have a backup server with TN Scale 25.04. This has an SSD SATA boot disk, a 256GB NVME disk for the cache, 5 x 4TB Satadisks in RaidZ1. So far everything works perfectly, but with the size provided, I was surprised that with 5 x 4TB only 10.44TiB are presented. I usually work with servers with HW Raid (HPE/IBM) where the loss is never that big! With HW Raid 5 x 4TB I have approx. 15TB available, 5TB more than with Truenas Scale 25.04.
Is that the case, or am I doing something wrong in TN?
Many thanks to you!

Size calculations after RAIDZ expansion are known to be broken. The space is available, only the reporting is wrong.
Your expansion is not yet finished, though.
