NAS Space ProblemHi, I have setup a RAID system containing 6x 140 GB drive in a Hardware RAID configuration, I'm wondering where all of my space went however It says i'm using 50 GB but for what? Latest Version of NAS4Free running on a Dell PowerEdge 2850 Server, with 16GB RAM Dual 2.8Ghz Help me please Thanks |

It appears that the "used" space was for the installation of the NAS4free OS. You still have 608 GB of free space on the drive on the volume /mnt/GCCFILESRV
I'm assuming that your raid is actually a raid 5 setup, which will use 5 disks for actual storage and 1 for parity, which when added up and converted from disk makers 1000 bytes in a GB to the 1024 bytes in the real world equals ~683 GB total.
What were you expecting to see? |

You know that sounds aboutright. It is RAID 5 as there are 6 drives in there but one isn't used as it is for parity but 50 GB How does that even fit usually that requires a DVD? Have you used NAS 4 Free before? |

I've not used NAS4free myself, so I can't help there. This OS is using the ZFS file system though, which is totally different to most other file systems. I suggest you head over to their forums and documentation for more specific assistance. |

Install » windirstat.info/ and search for yourself. |

I don't think this utility will work for his device, cause it isn't using an NTFS or FAT based format/file system. |
