Hey all,


  I'm looking to make a 16TB raid1 from (4) 8TB members + 8TB Spare.

when I put in:

 mdadm --create /dev/md/RecordingRAID --level=mirror --name=RecordingRAID --raid-devices=4 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdd1 /dev/sde1 /dev/sdl1 --spare-devices=1 /dev/sdn1


 I end up with an 8TB RAID.... not what I'm looking for...

Should I be doing something different?

Thanks,


 -Ben


p.s. (https://raid.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/RAID_setup doesn't show a good example of this. only 2+1)
