I'm having some issues and can't seem to find the answer to this problem. After I partitioned and created the raid through mdadm, I figured that all was well, but it's only appearing to be 800gb. I went and grabbed Gparted, but it doesn't look like that supports fakeraid yet.
where have you mounted the raid partition or does it show up in your file manager.
and how did you determine that's only 800 GB.
What shows mount if you type it in a terminal.

I had it mounted in / and then I moved it to /media/Server. I found it was only observed as 801gb through properties and then 756gb on the network.
Currently, it's not mounted so it doesn't show up.
Code:
root@evocati-desktop:/home/evocati# mount
/dev/sde1 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
none on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw)
none on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw)
none on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs (rw)
udev on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,mode=0755)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=0620)
tmpfs on /run type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,size=10%,mode=0755)
none on /run/lock type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,size=5242880)
none on /run/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev)
gvfs-fuse-daemon on /home/evocati/.gvfs type fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=evocati)
/dev/sdg1 on /media/usb type vfat (rw)
root@evocati-desktop:/home/evocati#
However, after I mount it with
Code:
mount /dev/md0 /media/server
[...]
gvfs-fuse-daemon on /home/evocati/.gvfs type fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=evocati)
/dev/sdg1 on /media/usb type vfat (rw)
/dev/md0 on /media/server type vfat (rw)
root@evocati-desktop:/home/evocati#
I’m also not sure, whether it’s a fake RAID or a plain software RAID. Because even with a fake RAID, it’s presented to be only one disk to the user and the geometry is hidden like with a real hardware RAID – no need to use any mdadm tools.
Well, I managed to resolve the issue. It turns out that there's a 2Tb max for msdos partitions, but not for ext4 formats, so I just formatted the raid in to an EXT4 instead. Some software space was eaten up, but at this point, I'm just happy to have the darned thing mounting.
Odd note, it's mounting as a root item instead of user so I can't share the drive :-s I'm still working on how to make this a user item so I should have my network up and running sometime in the next couple days.
