In your case, 36GB*(3-1) == 36GB*2 == 72GB. The diskspace used for parity is not configurable. Steve -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Ronan Lucio Sent: Monday, September 03, 2001 1:12 PM To: stable@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: RAID5 Hi All, I have a doubt about RAID5: If I have 3 HDs with 36 Gb each in RAID5, what is my total abaliable space? Can I select it? For example: Can I create 20 Gb for parity + 88 Gb of avaliable space?
