A server has the following configuration:
5x 1 TB drives configured in a RAID 5 array
1x 1 TB as a global hot spare
Persistent Hot Spare Slot enabled
A user adds one additional 2 TB drive to the existing array using RAID migration.
How much disk space is available to the operating system?
A. 5 TB
B. 6 TB
C. 7 TB
D. 8 TB
Yes in this case A is the correct answer and 1TB of the newly added disk will be wasted as RAID 5 is in use
Shouldn’t this be A? 5 X 1TB in raid 5 means 4 X 1TB are usable. Hot spare wouldn’t be presented as usable space. And user adds a 1 X 2TB disks (of which 1TB would be usable.
Or am i missing something?
