I have a Stardom 24TB external RAID formatted as HFS+. It shows up as a 24TB disk, but available space is only 66GB when only 6.4TB is used. When mounted in MacOS I get the correct amount of available space.

I mounted the disk with sudo mount -t hfsplus -o force,rw /dev/sdXX /mnt/XX, reading and writing to the disk is working fine.

Tried it with both Ubuntu 18.04 and Linux Mint 19, same result.

What am I doing wrong?

Here's a screenshot from disk manager

    Why are you mounting with force? Also output of df -h, I have had a lot of issues with disk manager reporting weird things – j-money Aug 30 '18 at 17:22
  • Hm, I followed a tutorial (https://askubuntu.com/questions/332315/how-to-read-and-write-hfs-journaled-external-hdd-in-ubuntu-without-access-to-os) about how to mount HFS drives, not sure why the force option is in there to be honest, I'm no expert at this. At the beginning it was read-only, so I did a chown command to get write access, don't know if that has anything to do with it. df -h shows only 5,9T available space in total. – Janm Aug 30 '18 at 18:07
