Where to find generic info about my pool?

[Dariusz1989]

Hey

I'd like to find out
1. Pool type, raid/z/etc
2. Pool usage
3. Pool total space
4. Pool Stats/etc, disk/versions/vendor/etc/etc

Does anything like that exist? When I go to pool all I get is space used, but I have no idea hat the total capacity is.

Windows appear to be reporting wrong data somehow.

I have 8x10tb disks in I think RaidZ2, but windows only shows 35tb ? I'm lost! Wheres my space...

zpool status and zfs list

Then smartctl -a /dev/daX (for each of your disks).

Also zpool iostat

Like this?

and this?

It's all in the GUI, under Storage -> Pools.

Thanks will try it!

Yes but its not showing the correct data I think

This is what 8x10tb pool looks like, I still don't know whats total space is, is it 25.73+24.21 ? Why does windows show 35.xx?

Unless you think gnomes are stealing capacity in your NAS, what else would it be? Keeping in mind that marketing TB (10^12 bytes) are not the same as filesystem TiB (2^40 bytes); the latter are about 91% of the former. Whether ~50 TiB (about 55 TB) makes sense for your pool is something I couldn't say without knowing your pool layout.

Look into historical reasons for hard drive TB vs TiB. To calculate, roughly times 0.9, or use https://www.gbmb.org/tb-to-tib.

8x10 in raidz2, makes 60TB, is 54 TiB. I see 50 there in your GUI - within margin of error for overhead, or maybe GUI display, what do I know. Roughly as expected.

Windows shows only what it sees inside a share, so then the question is: Which dataset did you share.

Hey

Thanks for info !

So just to sum it up, free nas has no statistic that says total space of pool. Only used/free ?

free nas has no statistic that says total space of pool.

I'm not aware of any place that the GUI gives you that number--I'd guess iX believes you can do simple addition to come up with it.

Only used/free

That seems to be true. It’s likely engineer’s aesthetics - “surely a + b isn't so complex we need to display the result, and anyway people care about how much space they use and how much is free, the total is derivative”

free nas has no statistic that says total space of pool.

FWIW, TrueCommand does show this statistic, but it doesn't account for parity--so it shows my pool as 98 TiB (total space of all disks) rather than 64 TiB (actual space after parity).
