I have 2 x 4TB hard disks and in WIndows Explorer it shows that I have 7.27TB as my Total Size for the DrivePool. At the moment, I have 1.58TB Free Space remaining.
Now, if I copy a 500GB file (for example) to the pool, my Free Space will reduce by 1TB (2 x 500GB as I have 2x file duplication enabled). Although this is correct, it's quite confusing to work out how much actual free space I have.
So, is there any way to get DrivePool to correctly report my Total Size and Free Space in Explorer? (ie - if we enable 2x file duplication, can DrivePool tell Windows to half the Total Size and Free Space amounts?)

I use DrivePool as a kind of RAID-1 replacement.
