Here is what I had before, the problem( actually it is not problem, it is
way raid5 works in my case) is when you used GUI interface, choose 4 disks and
use entire disk striping, the disk will assinged as this:
Disk1 Disk2 Disk3 Disk4
R5 Stripe R5 Stripe R5 Stripe R5 Log
It took one disk as log and one used for parity, that is why I got around 17 GB.
Solution:
I created raid5 first without log, used 4 disks, then created subdisk with
1080kb, add it as log, now I got 3/4 of disk spaces which is what I
expected.
Thanks again for all wonderful suggestions, I really appreciate especially some
of people responses me a couple of time.
