hi all,
i have a hard drive thats 8TB but when i look at the array size i get this,
Array Size : 7807186944 (7445.51 GiB 7994.56 GB)
so should i use for option "--backup-room" 8000 or 7994?
thanks,
rob

We aren't really getting the question.
Rely on the real size of your storage, not the expected one.

so if a drive says its 8TB on the box, put that in the "--backup-room" and not the real size ie 7450.5806 (i got the real size from the link below)

It does not matter what the box says. The real size of the disk if what your system detects. Brands tend to round up sizes for plain commercial reasons.

ok thanks, so just go by what your system says in "df -h" or whatever?

Sure. Just remember that the --backup-room figure is given in GB and to leave some security margin to not fill your disk up.
