look for a bit of guidance here. Kinda stuck, got a terrastation pro (old model still works so looking to improve it) so i have 4 tb disks. default for the terarstation is 1.6tb if you raid the disks as is. I have been following this guide to use bigger disks (http://buffalo.nas-central.org/wiki/TeraStation_Larger_Disks_and_RAID5), but i'm getting confused about the partitions and raid's. I have installed the 1.12 firmware from itimpi website. also the busybox tools. I followed the guide but only ended up with 146gb raid. So i am missing something when creating extra partitions.

i have sda to sdh each have 5 paritions except the sda where i thought it might need sd6 to allow for the space?(not sure why i thought that). I did have one raid md1. but am i supposed to have two raids, md1 and md2 to use the 4tb disks and get more space?
