I'm probably going to walk away from this with a red face but I can't puzzle it out.
I have a new DL380G7 with 4x 1TB SAS drives; RAID 5, no spare (I know).
I'd have expected 3x 1TB = 3TB of space in my logical drive and that amount useable for my partitions but I only have 2.35TB of space for my OS.
Can I lose 0.5TB just from the big stripe size? That was the unattended default settings the P410i makes - I didn't SmartStart this box as I was putting Server2012 on it.
