LinHES Forums :: View topic - Four disk in storage group only 1/2 capacity?

There was a documented problem with Storage Groups I was reading about over on Mythtv

It has to do with adding several same sized disks empty disks and the storage groups only picking them up like referenced here.

As I remember the workaround was something like getting some material saved on a disk and then adding the next one. even moving some material from one disk to another to as they are added to get the Storage groups working correctly.

I just added 4 disks into the default storage group. In the information center though it groups them into two and only displays the capacity of one of them in each group. MythTV Drive #1 Directories: mythserver:/myth1/tv mythserver:/myth3/tv 149GB Total MythTV Drive #2 Direcories: mythserver:/myth2/tv mythserver:/myth4/tv 153GB Total Total Disk Space 302GB actually each directory should be around 150GB so the total should be close to 600GB not 300GB is this just a problem with the display? /myth1/tv /myth2/tv /myth3/tv /myth4/tv are each on a dedicated 160GB drive.

I have confirmed this issue as well. Once there is data written to the drives making them different sizes, then they will show up in the mythweb status screen. Just a small glitch with mythweb.

Would that also apply to the information center on the console?

Yes, this affects the Information Center --> System Status screen as well. Once you start recording TV programs to the various drives, the System Status and Mythweb status will show the space correctly.
