So I think I fixed most of the bugs on the capacity calculator that people mentioned, and put a new version (0.9.2) up on http://nicholasbernstein.com/calc/. If anyone finds any new issues, or wants to give feedback, I'd love to hear what you think,
Nick

Thanks, it's possible that somehow wafl's being computed twice. I'll look at that later today.
Thanks for the feedback, Nick

Hi
I think there's something wrong on how your calculator considers the snapshot for aggregate and for volume reservations. Starting i.e. from a 14x500 SATA shelf in Raid DP and NO spare we've 12 disks, so 6000 GB raw and, rightsized roughly 5100, and until here this is correct, but why with a ZERO reserve for aggregate and volume reservation the usable is only 4590? This is wrong. It seems that you've remeoved the 10% of WAFL reservation again! When in an autosupport you read i.e. 272 GB usable on a 300 GB FC disc this is the net size. Again, about snapshot reserve for volumes: could cause confusion to consider this value because the % reservation is for EACH volume, so it can vary your available size a lot...
Anyway for a quick calculation a guy in NetApp years ago told me: "take your usable disks (no spares, no parity) raw size, multiply for their numbers and remove 15% for FC and 20% for SATA disks"...
