Greetings..
I have a xserver raid set with 1-TB in each side.
They are configured in raid-5.
Here is the problem... I want to make a strip set
out of them or combine them in such a way to get
near a 2-TB partition.
using stripe option:
[drag:/] root# /sbin/newfs_hfs -v drag-a /dev/disk1
Initialized /dev/rdisk1 as a 1035 GB HFS Plus volume
[drag:/] root# /sbin/newfs_hfs -v drag-b /dev/disk2
Initialized /dev/rdisk2 as a 1035 GB HFS Plus volume
[drag:/] root# diskutil createRAID stripe newsba HFS /dev/disk1 /dev/disk2
## I get this result ##
[drag:/] root# df -lk
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/disk0s2 58615668 2424268 55935400 4% /
/dev/disk3 23722584 1448 23721136 0% /Volumes/newsba
my disk3 is 23 Gig ??

** result ** 1.08 TB expected.. its a mirror.

Now what can I do go get the strip to work and get me
closer to 2-TB on that partition..
Thanks in advance..
