I am currently in the process of trying to setup a software raid using mdadm
on my linux machine.
My system has 4x 8TB (all are exact same model) which I would like to put into a RAID 10.
However, after running
❯ sudo mdadm --create --verbose /dev/md/mdData --level=10 --layout=o3 --raid-devices=4 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1
mdadm: chunk size defaults to 512K
mdadm: size set to 7813893120K
mdadm: automatically enabling write-intent bitmap on large array
mdadm: Defaulting to version 1.2 metadata
mdadm: array /dev/md/mdData started.
lbslk
only shows 9.7T and not the expected ~16TB of capacity on the Raid array:
❯ lsblk

I already tried doing it directly with the devices (as using /dev/sd{a,b,c,d} and also tried it with partitions that span the whole hard driveces /dev/sd{a,b,c,d}1
Can anybody tell me what I am doing wrong?
