Hi. I have a bunch of movies on a 12TB drive. Some of them didn't finish torrenting in windows/NTFS. I wanted to extend this drive in windows, but my block size was too small (4096). I have since repented and spun up a TrueNas server with the other 12TB drive (1M block size). However, as I'm copying to it I'm running out of space. Even if every file needed another 1M for the block size change, that's only 70GB right? What am I missing? How is the size on disk 17.1TB? What does that even mean?
