AFP share size

I have a 5200 loaded with 5ea. 750GB Seagates, running under RAID5 and firmware 10.0.8. I understand why the capacity as reported under "RAID Information" on the web interface is 2.857750 TB rather than 3.75TB (1000 vs. 1024 per kilobyte, formatting, RAID5, ...), but when I mount the volume under AFP it only shows 2.38TB available. Mounted under SMB the capacity is 2.51TB, slightly bigger than under AFP, but still missing a lot of space. Why is this, and can I do something to get back the lost half terabyte under AFP?

Hello Astro1,

How about the Target USB Percentage volume from Storage->RIAD->Config? if we set the Target USB Percentage the total volume would share the volume for traget USB using.
